Using the RegAPI
- Verify your capabilities. Enter the account assigned to the Registration API (check the email you got tellling you your account had been created). Get your capabilities here: What are Capability URLs.
- Read the RegAPI Documentation
- Although the documentation says the owner of the RegAPI account must be the same as the owner of the destination, that is not true; you can send registrants anywhere, but you should at least have permission of the owner (other than for Linden Lab Orientation Islands). If you have multiple registrations and need to send people to different locations, contact us to obtain additional assignments.
- Create your registration web page
- If you're using PHP, make sure the necessary libraries are installed and working (see http://uk.php.net/phpinfo )
- Verify that the Registration API works by using your web page to create a registration
- If you aren't getting results you expect, check if you're getting an error code
- Create registrations to test the most common error codes and verify that you receive and properly handle the RegAPI Error Codes.
- Please note that right now, the php scripts only work with PHP4. For more information, see RegAPI Tips
- Note: If you are using the RegAPI to sign up registrants on the Main Grid, users under 18 will not be allowed to register, as they are not permitted on the Main Grid.
