This is an API, it does almost nothing itself. It may be required by another plugin or you may want to create a plugin which requires AccountAPI.

The API creates a database table containing UUIDs, names and hashed passwords, and makes it easy to edit the table's content. Might be useful if you're creating a web service with registration and login.

The table looks like this:

uuid	name	pw
069a79f444e94726a5befca90e38aaf5	Notch	some SHA-256 hash
853c80ef3c3749fdaa49938b674adae6	jeb_	some other SHA-256 hash
...	...	...

Requirements

MySQL database

Installation and Configuration

The plugin works on Bukkit/Spigot and BungeeCord.

To install the plugin, place the jar-file in your server's plugins folder and start the server. The plugin will show an error message:

[AccountAPI] Unable to connect to database. Edit connection data in config.yml com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Unknown database 'accountapi' ...

That means, your MySQL connection is not working. Edit config.yml in plugins/AccountAPI/. The file looks like this:

mysql:
  host: '127.0.0.1'
  port: 3306
  user: 'root'
  pw: ''
  db: 'AccountAPI'

check-connection: true

mysql
host	Enter the domain/ip of your database host
port	Enter your database port (default is 3306)
user	Enter your database username
pw	Enter your database password
db	Enter the name of an already existing database
check-connection	Set to true if you want the plugin to check the database connection on startup and disable itself if the connection fails. Otherwise, set to false.
