I'm finding it quite difficult to get started with this! Am I correct in thinking that the "users" plugin that is mentioned in a number of places is one of the plugins found at https://github.com/techjoomla/com_api-plugins? (There isn't any mention of this in the documentation at https://docs.techjoomla.com/com_api/.
That plugin is now installed, along with com_api itself. As I understand it, the first thing I need to do is to obtain a token for a user so that subsequent requests can be validated. This appears to be done by a POST request to https://example.com/api/users/login. I am making a curl request with username and password as POST items:
The TLS negotiation is successful, and HTTP2 is agreed. But the response is 500 (confirmed in access.log but nothing in error.log). The details provided from curl are:
Presumably I don't need the cookie, which is not easy to handle with curl in a bash script. But obviously I don't get a token. I couldn't see any reference to a return of 500 in the documentation or the users plugin code.
How can I progress this please?
