JSONAPI

Im looking at the JSONAPI and i understand how to do it BUT i am after an explanation of this:

PHP:

$api = new JSONAPI("localhost", 20059, "username", "password", "salt");

I believe that the first 4 variables are the server information. am i right?
But what is the salt and where do i find this information?

You can look into the JSONAPI wiki on Github.
To understand how the requests and so on work, you should take a look at this page.

 

Minecrell I know how the api methods work, this is where i got the information and my question from. I have searched the wiki and i cant find the answer im looking for.

But my question is what is the salt (vlaue) and where is this got from as i cant find a salt tag in the plugin config but its asking for it in the php section.

You need to use the salt from the plugin configuration. I don't know exactly what the salt is but it is used to make the connection more secure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)

 

Under config.yml put a new node under options: called salt: yoursalthere

can the salt be anything?

 

Yes (it should be a string).

 

Yes. It accepts letters, numbers and all symbols. No spaces though.
