For accounts/join and accounts/login I would HIGHLY recommend using POST requests, as opposed to GET requests. They are more secure, and easier to use anyways as well. Read articles below for more details.

okay, I got it to POST now.

@jeffalo you should do this as well for the api.

no.. it uses GEt the last time i checked

wasteof uses post requests for auth and posting and commenting, i know this 100%. Get requests are used for retrieval of post, comment, user and more information.

that literally shows my point, it uses GET to get data about the currently logged in user, which you need a token for in the headers

Logs you into an account. (Returns an authorization token)

POST /session

After you do this, you can GET the info about already logged in user(that login used POST. I quoted its docs)
