I would very much like my application to utilize the settings that I have already configured in my user account. Is there a way to login and retrieve user settings through the api?

I would have the application ask users supply their username and password (these would be kept encrypted of course) and have the application auto configure itself to use the blacklist and other key features

Nope. Currently there is no way to fetch that data. You could set it before, though

Yup... but you're still limited to reading user preferences

About scraping? Not that I know... maybe we could get an admin say on this but I have no idea.

i see. The way you italicized the word reading before, made me think you were referring to something like a rule or a regulation regarding the modification of user settings or something to that effect, but it seems thats not the case after all.

Ah. Naw, I was just emphasizing. You can't write settings back because you need an auth. key, otherwise you'll get an error as mentioned in forum #141254. Unless you provided a way of displaying the user settings page, so they can edit to their liking. I wouldn't recommend scraping for the key because it may lead to your app being blocked
