How can I integrate MIT App Inventor with my WordPress site?

MIT App Inventor Help
1

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on a project where I need to integrate a mobile app created with MIT App Inventor with my WordPress website. My goal is to allow users to log in to the app using their WordPress credentials and to sync data between the app and the website.

Here are some specific questions I have:

  1. What’s the best way to authenticate users from the app using their WordPress login details?
  2. How can I securely transfer data between the app and the WordPress site?
  3. Are there any plugins or APIs that could simplify this process?

Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

The easiest way to achieve this would be to display the site in a WebView (native component)/CustomWebView/WebViewExtra, which would allow the user to log in through the site itself, though the user would probably have to log in each time the app is opened.

WordPress does have a REST API, though I'll have to go through it:

When you figure it out, show us, so we can add it to our collection at FAQ Web Services

Hi everybody, hi @Alexgoodwin

do we have any update about WordPress API?

I'm working on a similar project. I haven't tried how it looks/works with webview. Will do sooner or later

Cheers

What update were you hoping for?

Have you tried the REST api ?

You could be the one to provide the update...

Hey everybody.

@TIMAI2 I have finally some time now to dig it. I have many limits because I never programmed / used API or REST API (which I only vaguely know what are for), I'm also still on my first project at all with MAI2 so many first time in one go.

Nevertheless, I try to get around this but if someone with more experience will be kind to point out few directions from were to start to investigate it will be much appreciated.

Bottom line, despite WP could be the ideal CRM to use, I'm looking for a way to create a portal where to register and login and use these credentials to log in the app.

let see how it goes starting for the RESt API handbook :slight_smile:

cheers
