The Movie Database Support

Hey, so I am planning on making a side project which will be a tv show tracking application on iOS (it is just os that I get some hands on experience in the field).

So I was checking the docs and show that for registering a user and being able to save their tv shows and progress and so on, I would have to redirect them to a web page where they would login or register. My question is, if there is any workaround it so that I can have a normal authentication form on the application for them to create their account and then send that data through an API endpoint to finish the process, or is that something that can't be done with this API at the given moment.

Hi @tomacotuna,

User registration will always have to happen on our side since it would not be safe to allow 3rd parties to handle this data. There's no way I could trust everyone to not abuse the data collected.

User login/session creation largely follows the same general info as above with an exception that there is a validate with login method you can read about here. Please use HTTPS is you decide to go down this road.

Hi @travisbell ,

Totally understand that, thanks for the information and pointing me to the right place in the docs.

Can't find a movie or TV show? Login to create it.
