Customer Login

This document outlines the use of the get_customer API endpoint for authenticating and logging in a customer using their email and password. It is a crucial tool for verifying customer credentials and accessing their information upon successful login.

Using the `get_customer` Endpoint

The get_customer endpoint is designed to authenticate a customer's login credentials, including their email and password, to provide access to their account information.

Endpoint and Method

Endpoint: https://easycms.fi/public_api/get_customer/
Method: POST

Required Parameters | Payload

For successful authentication and data retrieval, the following parameters are mandatory:

TOKEN (api_key): Your unique API key for authentication. How to Create API Credentials.
username: Your API username.
password: Your API password.
account: Your API account.
email: The customer's email address used for login.
customer_password: The customer's password associated with their account.

Optional Parameters

no_profile_image: An integer value (0 or 1). Set to 1 to exclude the profile image from the response for a faster response time. This is useful for repetitive login verifications where the profile image is not required.

Purpose of the Endpoint

Customer Authentication: To verify the customer's identity by matching the provided email and password with the existing records.
Access Customer Information: Upon successful verification, the API returns the customer's account information.

Notes

Ensure the accuracy and confidentiality of the customer_password during transmission.
The primary parameters required are the email and customer_password for the customer which are usually fetched directly from a login form input.
Utilize the no_profile_image parameter for quicker response times in situations where the profile image is not necessary.
