I recently came up with a website idea that would require access to a third party site that doesn't have a login api or anything. I wrote a class that would act as it's api and requires raw login credentials. So I was wondering what the best way of storing this information is. I would be running a mysql server and the site will be coded in PHP. If you have any suggestions please comment!

Thanks.

  • if the site is 3rd party, and doesnt have an api or login, how did you write an api for it, this is a bit confusing. Do you have file access to that site? I think this would need to be clarified first.. – blamb Aug 22 '14 at 02:05
  • I said it doesn't have a login api @BrianThomas I managed to send POST data to each individual page. It's more of a client. Thanks. – ykykykykyk Aug 22 '14 at 02:13
  • You mean you're doing this for websites that don't support OAuth? – Ja͢ck Aug 22 '14 at 02:15

  • Yes and thank you, I was already doing that but was just ensuring it's safe @Ja͢ck – ykykykykyk Aug 22 '14 at 02:19
  • Of course, if your app server is compromised it will be of little use. – Ja͢ck Aug 22 '14 at 02:33
  • sorry i missed that, so it has an api, just no credential needed right? i.e. free untracked information? – blamb Sep 17 '14 at 00:56
