 ### Using the API
-The root path of the API will be:  https://\<hostname\>\<forum path\>/app.php/restApiV1/  If you have url rewriting enabled (in General->Server Settings of the control panel) and working for your forum, the path can be shortened to https://\<hostname\>\<forum path\>/restApiV1/

 NOTE: Due to PhpBB's cookie based auth, you will need to handle cookies passed to and returned by the api.  You shouldn't directly store these.  Your client should act as a proxy for these cookies.  I recommend looking at the example client and reusing the code if you are working with PHP on the client side.
