API

Check an authentication token's validity

/auth/check

Method: GET

Query Parameters:

  • jwt - authentication token
  • next - URL to redirect to when finished authentication

Returns:

If authenticated:

{
    "authenticated": true,
    "profile": {
        "id": "<user-id>",
        "name": "<user-name>",
        "email": "<user-email>",
        "avatar_url": "<url-for-user's-profile-photo>",
        "idhash": "<unique-id-of-the-user>",
        "username": "<user-selected-id>" # If user has a username
    }
}

If not:

{
    "authenticated": false,
    "providers": {
        "google": {
            "url": "<url-for-logging-in-with-the-Google-provider>"
        },
        "github": {
            "url": "<url-for-logging-in-with-the-Github-provider>"
        },
    }
}

When the authentication flow is finished, the caller will be redirected to the next URL with an extra query parameter jwt which contains the authentication token. The caller should cache this token for further interactions with the API.

Get permission for a service

/auth/authorize

Method: GET

Query Parameters:

  • jwt - user token (received from /user/check)
  • service - the relevant service (e.g. storage-service)

Returns:

{
    "token": "<token-for-the-relevant-service>"
    "userid": "<unique-id-of-the-user>",
    "permissions": {
        "permission-x": true,
        "permission-y": false
    },
    "service": "<relevant-service>"
}

Change the username

/auth/update

Method: POST

Query Parameters:

  • jwt - authentication token (received from /user/check)
  • username - A new username for the user profile (this action is only allowed once)

Returns:

{
    "success": true,
    "error": "<error-message-if-applicable>"
}

Note: trying to update other user profile fields like email will fail silently and return

{
    "success": true
}

Receive authorization public key

/auth/public-key

Method: GET

Returns:

The service's public key in PEM format.

Can be used by services to validate that the permission token is authentic.
