Hi,
jBackend allows to publish API for other clients (i.e. it acts as a server). It could internally invoke other systems, but but still aimed to building a response to a request.

Instead, from your request, it seems you need a client for an external system, so...

Kind regards

I think this plugin can help me pull user's username from joomla so i can then insert it into my ajax get request.

this api www.fitnessbuiler.com/api/v1/sso parameter "user_id" is required. so i need to somehow insert joomla user's username into that parameter. but for your api, i only see user/login, user/register.

Yes,
you could use jBackend to retrieve the user id, but the user should first login on Joomla site to identify itself. And if you check the documentation, after login the answer is:

www.selfget.com/documentation/jbackend-joomla30/user-module-api.html
{
    "status": "ok",
    "userid": "<userid>",
    "username": "<username>"
}

But you could play a little with jBackend if you want. There is a sandbox and you can download the Postman requests to play as described here:

www.selfget.com/documentation/jbackend-joomla30/usage.html

Kind regards,
Luigi

As I told you, at the moment only the login request returns the id and the username (the email could be add). If you need to get the user profile if should be added too.
