Get User Data

To fetch a user's data from Rotur, hit the /get_user endpoint:

Note: The password needs to be an MD5 hash, not plain text.

---

Example (JavaScript)

const username = "your_username";
const password = "md5_hashed_password"; // hash it before sending

// you can also use ?auth=token with a rotur token
// if you dont have the username and password

fetch(`https://social.rotur.dev/get_user?username=${username}&password=${password}`)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => {
    if (data.error) {
      // e.g. "invalid credentials"
      throw new Error(data.error);
    }

    console.log("User data:", data); // this is the rotur account object
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error("Failed to fetch user data:", err);
  });

---

The response (data) is a full Rotur account object. Details on what’s inside: rotur-account-objects

Logging in via WebSocket

Once you have the user data, you can auth with the WebSocket server using the auth command. This is the recommended way to log in — way faster than doing it through HTTP.
