Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Auth Platform API includes all the Auth related features. All Users, Phone Numbers, Emails, and OTPs are associated with an App as the container.

Endpoints only accept App's Secret API keys other than certain endpoints that are used client side or via SDK that accept the public_token.

Authentication using App Api Key

Header:

Authorization: Bearer {api_key}

Authenticated Request

curl \
  -X GET https://api.streambird.io/v1/auth/users/user_24wFP9pDa9YiMJLun94iKykoZs2 \

Body

application/json
​
email
string
required

Required Email that uniquely identifies the user.

Minimum length: 1
​
login_redirect_url
string

The base url we will use to construct the final login magic link and send to the user via email if this is a login (existing user). If the redirect_url is https://streambird.io/authenticate, final url user sees in email will be https://streambird.io/authenticate?token=autogeneratedmagictoken. We will redirect to your app in this url and your app should handle and parse the token parameter and allow the user log in. If no url is sent in, we will use the default redirect url set in the Console and if no default redirect url is available, an error will be returned.

​
registration_redirect_url
string

The base url we will use to construct the final login magic link and send to the user via email if this is a registration (new user). If the redirect_url is https://streambird.io/authenticate, final url user sees in email will be https://streambird.io/authenticate?token=autogeneratedmagictoken. We will redirect to your app in this url and your app should handle and parse the token parameter and register the user. If no url is sent in, we will use the default redirect url set in the Console and if no default redirect url is available, an error will be returned.

​
login_expires_in
number

Expiration time of the magic link in minutes for login (when an existing user is found) Must be between 5 to 10080 minutes (7 days), defaults to 60 minutes.

​
registration_expires_in
number

Expiration time of the magic link in minutes for registration (when a new user is created). Must be between 5 to 10080 minutes (7 days), defaults to 60 minutes.

​
requires_verification
boolean

Determines if verification for the authentication method (email, phone_number) is required before marking the user as active.

​
device_fingerprint
object

Device fingerprinting metadata for fraud detection during verification step. This is useful to ensure that the user who originated the request matches the user that verifies the token. Verification requirements can be enabled in the Verify Token step by matching fields in the device_fingerprint such as IP, User Agent or the combination of them (more fraud detection features coming soon!)
