If there were a way we could interact with a web api to verify user accounts, it would give way to fun ways we can develop future mods.
One idea is adding discord integration to our factorio servers. The web API would come in handy for this when pvp is involved. We're wanting to give team specific discord channels, but verifying a discord user is actually a part of a given team is the hard part to do. Our current method in development is using linux server side scripts to whisper the player a verification code, which they could in turn enter in a customized web page with discord integration. Then we could add their discord user to the proper discord channel.
As you can see... if a factorio web api were accessible for user verification, we could more easily integrate discord and factorio logins to tie a discord user to their verified factorio account.
