JavaScript API


The Little Guy

Recommended Posts

I am going to make a JS API that connects to a PHP script, does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it so that the API only works on the site of the user who registered the site?

 

Here are/were my thoughts of doing this:

 

[*]create a unique code that is required to identify the site

[*]check the referrer of the site that is connecting to the API

[*]if the two values match up in the database allow usage of the API

[*]if the two values don't match up in the database don't allow usage of the API

 

That is what I have come up with, now I am not sure how secure this would be so does anyone have any suggestions to make it so that only the registered domain can use the API?
