I would like to auth users against VB so that they can access restricted non-vbulletin areas of my site. Currently i do this by connecting to the vb db and comparing the session hash. I want to get away from this and use the mobile API. From what i can tell by looking through the code the VB API does not support using a sessionhash for authentication. The API Chain looks like it may be what i want but I'm not sure. Anybody have any experience with this? I wish VB would publish some documentation about this stuff.

What i'm mainly looking to do summary.... When a user enters my site (non-vbulletin code) I want the portal to check the sessionhash using the api to verify if the user if logged in or not and get that members info (userid, username, email, permissions, etc...)
