API Profile Activity - Help

In this activity there is a single profile (no trying to access someone else's profile here) and a bunch of requests to retrieve and modify the data.

I would recommend using software like Postman or RESTer to make different requests, learn the 'API' and then find the bugs. You can go a step further and also create automated tests as well!

Profile parameters:

username - default: TestUser
password - default: TestPw
role - valid values: Admin, User
bio

The values are specific to your session and will automatically reset after a short period.

GET

/ - Retrieve the public facing profile
/help/ - Show this help
/get/ - Retrieve the full profile (requires auth).
/reset/ - Resets data back to defaults (mainly present to help you out)

POST

The following POST requests are available along with an example JSON body. You will need to provide authentication with every request.

/setpassword/
{"newpassword":"YOURVALUE"}

/setbio/
{"bio":"YOURVALUE"}

/setprofile/
{"username":"YOURVALUE","bio":"YOURVALUE"}

Note that you need the trailing slash on your requests.
