Recommended way to access member information from third-party application
Dear Umbraco Experts,
I've got a new site running under Umbraco version 7. At some future point I'll need to access information about the members from a third party application (check authentication details, check group membership).
I was planning on writing my own webservice wrapper of the membership functions I need but I've read a few articles (links removed) talking about the built-in webservices. Rummaging around, I can't find the same end-points any more and the umbraco.webservices project says that's been removed, and is also described as a "legacy" project which doesn't suggest I should be using it.
Am I missing the built-in service? Should I be installing the Umbraco.webservices package? Am I best of just writing my own stuff?
The built-in webservices are old and probably won't work anymore. V7 has new webservices so AngularJS can work with WebAPI, but those are not public yet. It's probably best to create some custom werbservices with the WebAPI for this.
