API Key

[Arthur Agapoff]

Hi,

One thing I can't remember if it was written or not:

If people use my freesound queries based application from their computer, do they have to subscribe and get their own API key? I don't think so.

I mean If they download one ore more sound files, do they need to have their own freesound User Id/password?

If not, you won't be able to keep track of their downloads made through my application.

This could be seen as some kind of "leakage"...

Thank you for clarifying my thoughts ;)

Have you all a good 10-10-10

Best regards,

Arthur, from France.

Hello Arthur,

right now this is exactly what would happen, i.e. the downloads would not register. I think in the future we will plan to have a 3-legged authentication ( probably oauth ). This would allow the user of the API to let users "log in" to freesound via his app and "act as a user".

You probably have seen similar things with flickr and facebook.

Thank you Bram,

So I think I understood well the underlying issue.

My users would have to "sign" the creative commons and login through my app.

Now, that's clear.

I don't use flickr and I can't see what you mean with Facebook but anyway, I'm looking forward for more on this subject.

Don't worry, my app isn't ready at all :)

Arthur.
