Overview

The Registration API (Reg API) enables you to register new Second Life users on your website, and set the location where they initially appear inworld after they log in. You can use the Registration API to create Second Life accounts within your own registration process or website. You can customize the Second Life registration process to capture additional information or to fit your registration process.

The Reg API enables creation of a unique Second Life name and password. It provides Linden Lab with the same information required for registrations through the secondlife.com website. At the end of registration, your customer must download the Second Life client, install and run it. At that time, they will be registered with the account they created on your website and will start Second Life in a location you specify.

Use the Reg API to:

• Create and manage your community in Second Life.
• Maintain your identity from your website through Second Life registration into Second Life.
• Track your community in Second Life.

Important limitations and conditions apply. For example, you must make clear that users are establishing a relationship with Linden Lab, separate from their relationship with you.

How to participate

To submit a request to participate in the Beta Registration API program, fill out the Registration API Request Form. Linden Lab will contact you by email once your application has been reviewed.

Important notices

The RegAPI is a beta program that requires a modicum of technical proficiency to use successfully. Linden Lab does not currently provide support or technical advice on its use.

NOTE: Second Life accounts with Reg API capabilities that have not signed up at least one account within 90 days of their receipt will have their Reg API access removed

All participants in the Reg API program must abide by Linden Lab's API Terms Of Service.

Features

The RegAPI does not currently allow you to:

• Assign new Residents to groups
• Provide inventory

• Alter or control the Resident's outfit
• Restrict where you can place people upon log-in (please make sure that the owner of the landing location agrees to have the new Residents arrive there if you don't own that land)
• Provide load balancing (it is advised to use the RegAPI to selectively set the starting location based on data sent from an LSL script in each location)
