User Authentication

last revision: 3/24/2008

The imeem API allows both anonymous and authenticated imeem user access. The majority of read API requests allow anonymous access, while the majority of write and upload requests require an imeem user to be logged in.

The usersGetCurrentUser method can be used to determine if a user is currently logged in and the identity of that user.

The usersLogin and usersLogout methods are provided to support imeem user authentication. The usersLogin method sets two cookies on the client (gamma_fc and ASP.NET_SessionId) that must be sent back with every request.
