I try to connect to the API, with the pwg.session.login method, with the HTTP method POSTwith the following url:

https://piwigo.buron.coffee/ws.php?format=json&method=pwg.session.login&username=test&password=test

I got the following error with a 405 HTTP code :

{"stat":"fail","err":405,"message":"This method requires HTTP POST"}

What am I doing wrong ?

Hi @emixam150

You passed the argument in GET. Keep only {format, method} in GET but move {username, password} in POST.

Actually I already test to post this :
https://piwigo.buron.coffee/ws.php?format=json&method=pwg.session.login
with the body :

{
"username":"test",
"password":"test"
}

and it returns the same error, which it is not the good one, no ?

you can try set request content type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded
body like this:
username=test&password=test

I have been discussing with a user having the same issue. He was indeed sending a POST request, but all his parameters were in GET (in the URL), not in POST. The POST array was empty, thus the error thrown by Piwigo.

Only {format, method} must be in GET, other parameter in POST.
