Use your Vine credentials. If you normally use Twitter to login to Vine it will not work. You will need to create a new account where you sign in using your e-mail.

There's no other way to engineer this, if all the requests were made server side with one account, you wouldn't be able to use any of the features that the mobile application offers which is the whole point of this extension. I understand what you're saying. But none of the information is stored anywhere, it is only used to login. You don't have to use it if you don't want to, and for people that are sceptical about using it with their regular credentials, they can simply create a new account and use that account just for the client. Multiple people are already using the client, nothing but positive reviews so far.

Why so angry?

Exactly your point? You didn't make any.

Haha, that is interesting I admit. The reason I created it is because I believed there was a need for it. It's a lot easier to browse Vine from VineClient since your resolution is much larger.

Simply create another account for Vine if you'd like. How else is it supposed to pull up your profile. And the extension is required to emulate the mobile application, modifying the request headers and creating client side requests so the access does not get throttled or noticed by Vine.

I don't use shared web hosting. Thankfully.

I guess that's fairly standard

I just fixed that, my bad. Your resolution must be extremely low.

They can't throttle the access as the requests are made client side. It's the same as if you were using your smartphone to access vine except on a web browser. None of the content goes through my server, the only thing that is served by my server is the PHP that holds it all together and the JS.

I'm sorry for coming off that way. I just hate the fact that all you guys are coming off extremely negative and then wondering why I'm not responding the way you want me to. I've dealt with a thing or two in my career my friend. I'm not trying to impress the HN community by any means, I was simply posting a link to something I made. I don't live for HN, and this is clearly not a startup along the lines of HN. All you guys need to relax. It's all water under the bridge to me. If I get a C&D letter, I'll deal with it then. At the moment, the client is up and running and that's all that matters. Thanks for your input.

Exactly, people here need to take a chill pill. There's no money in play here. Twitter / Vine have other fish to fry.

I've never said that. I'm not gambling anything. I'm just saying that a C&D letter doesn't scare me. Y'all should read Vine's Terms of Service. I did.

Yes, I can do registrations. I did not include the registration on there for the simple fact that I didn't want users to abuse the registration form.

I'll wait, I'm not gonna shut down with a strongly worded C&D. And besides, I don't believe Vine is aware of VineClient at the moment, this is being blown way out of proportion.

Haha you got that right!

The word "Vine" is in the dictionary, it does not solely serve the name of the Vine application. Also, none of the copyrighted logos / trademarks are used on the site. I'm not worried.

I'm not worried. Thanks for the heads up. The software is produced under a company anyway, not me personally. I'll be waiting for a C&D.

I agree! I highly doubt they would acquire VineClient, however the whole C&D thing is a bit far fetched. They have no grounds to send a C&D, those are all public endpoints that I'm using. If they wanted their content to be so secure, then perhaps they should have went a more secure way other than using HTTP as protocol of communication. But no, usually people take the easy route and that's why people like me are able to create things like VineClient.

I had to make an extension because it acts as a blocker so I can modify the request headers before the request is sent to emulate the mobile app. Also, I need access to all data because of the cross-origin requests. Also, I needed all the requests to come directly from the user and not my server, as it would get banned probably. It literally emulates using your phone.
