Using the RegAPI

Using the Registration API

• 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 documentation page Registration API Documentation or RegAPI Documentation webpage
• 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 RegAPI Intro).
• 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 error codes.
• Please note that right now, the php scripts only work with PHP4. For more information, see RegAPI Tips
