A page/widget on a third party app fetching Community data.

I need to create a page on a third-party product which pulls data from Community regarding a particular user. Khoros does provide APIs to fetch this data. But, would it be the best way to achieve so?

The user might also be required to be singed into Community through SSO. Could it be achieved using an iframe?

    No, you can not take out Khoros user data without authentication. Integration using API is the best way to achieve this.

    Thanks for the info!

    So we have a middleware created to authenticate users and SSO them in if they are hitting a certain endpoint. It uses JWT token to accept user data. I was wondering if I could use a iframe to SSO in the user using JWT token, then redirect them to a Community page and this page will be built to use liql queries and to fetch user data.

    It seems too much to get simple data but would appreciate your thoughts on it.
