REST API中的用户注册

Question

I have a PHP web application that I want to make accessible across multiple clients. So, I'm trying to make it more like an API. My question is: How would I handle the creation of new users using the API? If I have a URL like http://example.com/user/signup which takes new user details and creates a new user via a POST request, wouldn't it be a problem that people can misuse it and create fake users easily?

Answer 1

i would recommend only allowing open id in the API, as it would be hard to implement bot preventing schemes into it (captcha ...)

anyway even open id isint that a great idea in the API are you sure you need registration available thru the API ?
