i have used curl and few other methods for doing vbulletin functions through a script but never tried vbulletin api. So took a few hrs to understand vbulletin API.

Try this script (it is working for me)

PHP Code:

<?php 
        //Parameters 
        $clientname = "mysuperclient"; 
        $clientversion ="0.1"; 
        $platformname = "example"; 
        $platformversion ="2.5"; 
        $uniqueid = "1234"; 
        $apiurl="http://forum.com/api.php"; // Edit here 
        $apikey = 'API KEY'; // Edit here 

        error_reporting(E_ALL); 

        ///////////////////////////////////////// ACTION 

        if(isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password'])) { 
            $userName = $_POST['username']; 
            $password = $_POST['password']; 
             
            if($userName != '' && $password != '') { 
                $jsarray = initApiRequest($clientname, $clientversion, $platformname, $platformversion, $uniqueid, $apiurl);
                $jsarray = doLogIn($jsarray, $userName, $password, $apikey, $apiurl);
                 
            } else { 
                echo "userName == '' || password == ''"; 
            }
