Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 1, 20223 yr Hey, Currently for a custom application I require to call the lost password functionality of Invision. I can't find anything about sending a recovery request call to the forums (without an HTTP client). Is there something like this available with invision https://website.com/forums/index.php?/lostpassword/email=test@hotmail.com Or e.g. website.com/forums/recovery/email=test@hotmail.com Thanks in advance
February 1, 20223 yr Community Expert Solution Sorry, this is not something which is available within our software. This would require a customization itself or you can request it for a future release in our Feature Suggestion forum.

Do you know if it is possible to whitelist an IP to not use captcha? It seems as if whitelisting an IP in spam-prevention still shows a captcha upon password recovery (preventing a successful http client). Only alternative would be to disable captcha for the functionality I require - which I would not want to do...
February 2, 20223 yr Community Expert There is no way in which to whitelist against using recaptcha at present
February 2, 20223 yr It sounds like you're trying to do password reset activities through screen scraping. It might be better to look at doing this through the REST API. It would not be subject to CAPTCHA requests, etc. It's also designed to be interacted with in a programmatic way.

I looked into all the REST API calls and currently don't see any calls of requesting a password reset. (https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api/index/). Or do you mean something else?
February 10, 20223 yr Community Expert We cannot assist with development as part of our standard support, however there wouldnt be any way to request a password reset on that. You can see everything available on the REST API here https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api
