Users

Intro

A user can be a physical person or you can create a user for a specific project/access level. A user is identified by their email, while internally they are given a UUID.

It's a good idea to create a user for your application with only write access when you start using the service in earnest.

The user object

Create a user

Signing up is done using the /users endpoint. A post will do the trick.

This is the only route besides the operations listing, where you don't need authorization. Everything else will need it, so check for the authorization part of the guide to see the details.

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST 'https://api.rokka.io/users' -d '[
    {
        "email": "my@email.com",
        "organization": "example-organization"
    }
]'

$client = \Rokka\Client\Factory::getUserClient();

$user = $client->createUser('my.email@mail.com');

echo "Api-Key: " . $user->getApiKey() . PHP_EOL;

You get back a full user object, containing your api key. To be safe, this information is also sent by email to your address. Save these, you need them for authentication.
