724648 - Use the new AMO User API

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Add-on Builder, defect, P3)

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Allen hooked up an endpoint for you to get user info out of AMO so you don't have to use the db.  An example URL (this is behind oauth - builder's user already has access):

> https://addons-dev.allizom.org/z/en-US/firefox/api/2/user/?email=[e-mail]

Which gives this output:

> {
>     "username": "clouserw",
>     "display_name": "clouserw",
>     "created": "2007-03-05 13:09:38",
>     "modified": "2012-01-31 12:38:50",
>     "id": 10482,
>     "location": "Portland, OR",
>     "homepage": "http://micropipes.com/blog/",
>     "email": "[e-mail]",
>     "occupation": "Internets"
> }

I chose those fields, it's easy to add/subtract if needed but I think that's all the builder uses.  Is there anything else we need?

Remember that bug last week where people couldn't log in to builder-dev?  Closing this bug will fix that. :)

API is working fine with browserID/Persona
We've decided to remove old style authentication

Please provide what is returned if API can't find a user with given email.
I believe, before it was None
It seems to raise 404 right now.
