-  * To interact with the API of RADIUSdesk you will need an API key. +  * We will explain the same API used by a login page that has **User Registration** enabled. 
-  * Each Access Provider registered on the system has a unique API key. +  * To enable user registration on a login page, go to the Dynamic Login Pages applet. 
-  * It is recommended that you create a dedicated Access Provider for the system using the API+  * Select a login page and click **Edit** 
 +  * At the bottom of the **Settings** sub-tab is a **Registration** tab. 
 +  * There you can enable and fine tune it for the specified login page. 
 + 
 +===== API ===== 
 +==== API URL ==== 
 +  * We assume the FQDN of the RADIUSdesk server is **hotspot.radiusdesk.com**. Please adapt accordingly. 
 +  * http://hotspot.radiusdesk.com/cake3/rd_cake/register-users/new-permanent-user.json 
 + 
 +==== Items included in the POST ==== 
 + 
 +  * Let us take a look at the items submitted to the back-end when a user registers and then discuss important items in that list.

 +^ Item      ^ Typical Value       ^ Comment          ^ 
 +| mac    | 28-D2-44-20-AA-00     | Mandatory if the **One user registration per device** is selected     | 
 +| login_page    | demo1     | Optional - Not required but may be useful to know which login page you work with  | 
 +| login_page_id  | 1     | The ID is kept in a hidden column under the Dynamic Details Grid  | 
 +| name    | Dirk     |   | 
 +| surname    | van der Walt     |   | 
 +| username    |  dirkvanderwalt@radiusdesk.com     | We use the email address as the username  | 
 +| password    | very$ecu3     |  | 
 +| phone    | 0721235555     |  |

 +==== Finding the login_page_id ==== 
 +  * See the following screenshot to get to the login_page_id 
 + 
 +{{ :user_guide:login:login_page_id.png?nolink&400 |}} 
 + 
 + 
 +  * The first hidden column contains the value of login_page_id. 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +==== A Word On The MAC Address ==== 
 + 
 +  * The MAC Address is the MAC address from the WiFi interface of the device that the user will connect with to the Captive Portal. 
 +  * When we use the login page to do the user registration we can extract it from the detail provided to us by CoovaChilli typically. 
 +  * When we create something like a mobile app and want to allow someone to register **without being connected to the Captive Portal**, we can still supply the MAC address of the device using the app. 
 +  * Here is some info on how to get it programmatically: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10831578/how-to-find-mac-address-of-an-android-device-programmatically/13007454 
 + 
 +==== Reply - Success ==== 
 + 
 +  * This is typically what a successful reply will look like 
 +<code javascript> 
 +{ 
 +    "success": true, 
 +    "data": { 
 +        "active": "active", 
 +        "cap_data": "hard", 
 +        "language": "4_4", 
 +        "user_id": 0,

 +        "phone": "0721235555" 
 +    } 
 +} 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +==== Reply - Failure ==== 
 +  * This is a typical message if someone tries to register twice from the same device 
 +<code javascript> 
 +{ 
 +    "success": false, 
 +    "errors": { 
 +        "username": "MAC Address 28-D2-44-20-04-8D in use by dirkvanderwalt@gmail.com@demo1" 
 +    }
