Hello , I need to login to a wordpress website via an http based API. how can I do that?
Full Context:
I have been maintaining a java based native Android App which is affiliated to a religious wordpress website. The app consists of some videos and static content that is not available on the website itself, but we need to make sure that every user of website is only able to access the content and no one else.
Till now what they did was contacted some guy on upwork who somehow created an api on wordpress on which i would login \`/wp-json/custom-plugin/login\` on which the would make an http request with username and password.
However the guy is not available any more and they recently updated the website which stopped the custom plugin’s working as that was not allowing the website to work properly.
I think what they are looking for is a simple “enable and forget” kind of plugin which when enabled can simply allow http based clients to login to website. So can you good folks help me with any such plugin and how its going to work/integrated?
