can't pass auth_token in webservice calls
By Don G
Hello. Pls somebody explain to me how to pass auth_token in webservice calls. I am writing a small app using jquery mobile. I can succesfully get the token ($.ajax({type:'POST',url:http://mysite/service/api/rest/json/',data:'method=auth.gettoken'&username=user&password=password',dataType:'json'.....}
This returns a token e.g:df123dfgg455666...
I try to pass this as a parameter when making calls like blog.save_post but it gives me error. The readme says i have to pass auth_token in every web service call. Don't know how. Pls any help would be appreciated. I am using webservice plugin for this

Hello. Please can any one explain to me how to do api authentication in elgg webservice plugin
I believe you just send your API key as a query parameter 'api_key'
Sorry. I don't know how to get api_key. I downloaded the apiadmin plugin but don't know how to get a key. I have managed to get things going without api authentication. But its not cool. @Matt Thanks for your reply.
The token returned by auth.gettoken can be added it the next API calls like this:

The auth.gettoken API:
Thanks for your reply
Been off for days now.
Main problem is that i dont know how to use api admin to get api key
There's an administration page for it (maybe under utilities? can't remember offhand)
It has a straight link for generating keys
