Ask HN: How to authenticate HN users?

3 points by aswinmohanme 8y ago

I am currently buulding a HN client app in React Native. Everything else is kind of done but I am thinking about adding login capabilities to the app. Is there an official API for third party login from HN? Also could you point out some resources for the same ?

The API is linked at the bottom of this page, https://github.com/HackerNews/API https://github.com/HackerNews/API

  That does not allow write access

Have you tried just POSTing directly to the login page and saving the cookie for authentication?
