Using the API

When you recieve your response from Linden Lab stating that you have been accepted into the Registration API program, follow these steps:

1. Verify your capabilities using the capabilities form.
2. Make sure you have permission from the owner of the estate where your users will appear inworld. You must have permission of the landowner (except for Linden Lab Orientation Islands). If you have multiple registrations and need to send people to different locations, contact us to obtain additional assignments.
3. Create your registration web page
4. If using PHP, make sure the necessary libraries are installed and working (see http://uk.php.net/phpinfo )
5. Test your registration application:
   • Register several new users.
   • If you aren't getting results you expect, check the error code.
   • Create registrations to test the most common error codes and verify that you receive and properly handle them appropriately.

WHEN TESTING

If you are using the Reg API to sign up registrants on the main grid, users under 18 will not be allowed to register, since they are not permitted on the Main Grid. Therefore, when testing, use a birth date that makes the registrant older than 18 years.

Use an email address that does not currently exist in Second Life. If a user has already registered with an email address, the Reg API will return error 95, email exists. If you trap errors, you will see this error code, but if not, registration will simply fail.

Use the following form to display your current capabilities. See Using capability URLs for more information.
