The RegAPI (Registration API) is a beta program. Linden Lab is unable to provide support or technical advice, and the Registration API sample code and documentation require effort to implement successfully. We are limiting new accounts for the RegAPI at this time.
As of 1 August 2007, new RegAPI accounts that remain inactive will be deleted 90 days after creation.

The RegAPI (Registration API) is useful for creating and managing your community in Second Life, for maintaining your identity from your website through Second Life registration into Second Life and tracking your community in Second Life.

Specifically, it 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.

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.

Please note that all participants in the RegAPI programs must abide by Linden Lab's API Terms Of Use.

Capabilities

The RegAPI allows you to:

• Register Residents for Second Life from your own website
• Track people registering from your site
• Send them to a location of your choice when they first enter Second Life

The RegAPI does not currently allow you to:

• Assign new Residents to groups
• Provide inventory
• Creating attachments
• Alter the appearance of the Viewer
• 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)
