Hi Anash, thank you for your answer.
You're absolutely right, I could just use the test account (and its credentials), and carry on using ClientLogin. I have done it now, and it works. However, I remember reading somewhere that ClientLogin would be phased out in favour of OAuth2, and if that's the case, I should probably already start thinking about how to implement it with OAuth2. Can you please confirm if my statement is correct, and ClientLogin is really going to be phased out? Thank you so much for your answers, Marcos On Monday, 28 January 2013 05:47:59 UTC, Anash P.
