New GDPR-Compliant TYPO3 Association Member-API
===============================================

27 February 2023

Have you ever wanted to quickly verify that you are doing business with a real TYPO3 member? Now you can.

Given an email address, the API at [typo3.org/check-member](https://news.typo3.com/article/recap-typo3-camp-mitteldeutschland-2018-t3cmd) will answer “found member” or “no member found”. If the answer is “found member”, you'll also see the membership type.

On the [Check Member](https://news.typo3.com/article/recap-typo3-camp-mitteldeutschland-2018-t3cmd) page, you can input an email address and the new Member-API will search the member database. For valid members, the page displays the membership type held by that email address.

**The page is fully GDPR-Compliant.** No names, addresses or any other personal information is displayed.

The on-screen text is “Found member with given email \[address\]. This member is \[membership-level\].”

When the email address has no associated member in the database, the on-screen text is “No member found with given email \[address\].”

That's just enough information for you to know if you can **apply that TYPO3 Association member-only price** or **verify that the agency you’re signing a contract with fulfills your membership requirement**.
