Link tmdb account to my website?

I want to allow users to login using their tmdb account, I will store only the username (maybe also country with their permission) so they can rate immediately and avoid validation. It's okay?

Hi Almis90,
Ya, you would just be using the TMDb sessions like any other application, just in your case it's a website. The key piece of info you need will be their generated session ID, that's the ID you need to rate things via the API.
I don't see how you can avoid the validation though, unless you use guest sessions that is. The problem with guest sessions though is that they aren't a full user account so their permissions are fairly narrow.
Cheers.

When I say validation I mean sending email to validate their account, with tmdb account they can register without providing email. Thank you for your help.
