== Installation ==

rooftop-api-authentication is a Composer plugin, so you can include it in your Composer.json.

2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. There is no step 3 :-)

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can this be used without Rooftop CMS? =

Yes, it's a Wordpress plugin you're welcome to use outside the context of Rooftop CMS. We haven't tested it, though.

= How does the user authenticate? =

The user passes an authorisation header called 'api-token' with their API request. You can choose whether to allow a specific token to have read-only or read-write access.

= Can I re-use a token? =

You can, but it's probably not wise. If you want to have several applications accessing your Rooftop account, we suggest creating several tokens.
