create_account_app data

Found this repo via your comment on https://gist.github.com/ivellios/ba31bbebc1dd5e76a2680302d3c15b58#gistcomment-3798363

In API Endpoints.md you mention that https://www.drivethrurpg.com/create_account_app.php can be used to get an API key, but the response is that an email and password are missing.

Do you have any documentation on this endpoint?

Thanks for asking! No, I haven’t quite been able to figure out how that one works. The app is using it, but I can’t determine exactly what format it wants for supplying the username and password. It wants it as POST data somehow, I think, but the format eludes me. It also doesn’t seem to be too secure, since it’s sending your password in the clear (or at least storing it in the logs that way). The workaround is to log into your DTRPG account and get your API key from there. Let me know if you need help finding it.

Yes, help finding it would be great. :)

I've looked for it numerous times and can't find it.

No problem. Log into DTRPG and go to your account page. Click on “My Account Settings.” On the info page that comes up, It’s under “Application Keys.” Let me know if you still can’t find it and I’ll try to get some screenshots.

My initial, very basic, for testing, application is over in https://github.com/JamesSkemp/DriveThruRpg

Thanks again for this documentation; it was a helpful resource to review.
