I’m working on an macOS client app and was curious what was needed to authorize/login a user to get a token for the auth header?

The lemmy documentation for login doesn’t seem to work (sends 400 response back) and it also doesn’t seem to work with oauth?

I got oauth working for mastodon but those same endpoint calls don’t seem to work for lemmy.

  • Looking at the lemmy documentation I assumed they wanted form data and sent that along with application/x-www-form-urlencoded for the Content-Type.

    As you mention what they actually want is JSON and application/json Content-Type.

    Thanks for the info!
