API and Single Sign-On
API Features
Vanilla has an easy to use RESTful API that you can use to deeply integrate Vanilla with your website or application. All API endpoints are displayed and documented right in your Dashboard. The API supports per-user access tokens, cross-origin resource sharing, and automated testing to reduce regression bugs and unwanted changes.

Seamless Single Sign-On
SSO can be configured to be completely seamless, in fact, users won’t notice as they move back and forth from your website to your community. Vanilla supports multiple SSO protocols to make member login easy.

Social logins
Users can register directly to the forum using their LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google or Steam or OpenID credentials. Of course, they can also register directly using the registration form.
