Return information about the API status. Returns a 500 if there are issues with database connectivity.

Status page

Initialize a passcode login for the user identified by `user_id`. Sends an email
containing the actual passcode to the user's primary email address or to the address specified
through `email_id`. Returns a representation of the passcode.


Initialize passcode login

Finalize a passcode login given the `id` of the passcode and the actual `code` provided in the the email sent
to the user during initialization.

On success, sets the User's `verified` status to `true`.


Finalize passcode login

Perform a password login for the user identified by `user_id` and a given `password`.

This endpoint is only available if passwords have been enabled via [configuration](https://github.com/teamhanko/hanko/blob/main/backend/docs/Config.md#hanko-backend-config) option `passwords.enabled`.


Do password login

Create a or update an existing `password` for the user identified by `user_id`.

This endpoint is only available if passwords have been enabled via [configuration](https://github.com/teamhanko/hanko/blob/main/backend/docs/Config.md#hanko-backend-config) option `passwords.enabled`.


Create/Set a password

Initialize a login with Webauthn. Returns a JSON representation of CredentialRequestOptions for use
with the Webauthn API's `navigator.credentials.get()`.

Omitting the optional request body or using an empty JSON object results in generation of request options for a
login using a [discoverable credential](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/#client-side-discoverable-public-key-credential-source)
(i.e. they will not contain
[allowCredentials](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/#dom-publickeycredentialrequestoptions-allowcredentials)).

*Note*: The Webauthn API uses binary data represented by ArrayBuffers for certain input/output values.
The Hanko API returns these values as base64url-encoded, so they must be converted to ArrayBuffers
when passed to the Webauthn API. Similarly, Webauthn API output must be converted to base64url-encoded values
when passed to the Hanko API (e.g. using the [webauthn-json](https://github.com/github/webauthn-json) library).


Initialize WebAuthn login

Finalize a login with Webauthn using the WebAuthn API response to a `navigator.credentials.get()` call.

*Note*: The Webauthn API uses binary data represented by ArrayBuffers for certain input/output values.
The Hanko API returns these values as base64url-encoded, so they must be converted to ArrayBuffers
when passed to the Webauthn API. Similarly, Webauthn API output must be converted to base64url-encoded values
when passed to the Hanko API (e.g. using the [webauthn-json](https://github.com/github/webauthn-json) library).


Finalize WebAuthn login

Initialize a registration with Webauthn. Returns a JSON representation of CredentialCreationOptions for use
with the Webauthn API's `navigator.credentials.create()`.

*Note*: The Webauthn API uses binary data represented by ArrayBuffers for certain input/output values.
The Hanko API returns these values as base64url-encoded, so they must be converted to ArrayBuffers
when passed to the Webauthn API. Similarly, Webauthn API output must be converted to base64url-encoded values
when passed to the Hanko API (e.g. using the [webauthn-json](https://github.com/github/webauthn-json) library).


Initialize WebAuthn registration

Finalize a registration with Webauthn using the WebAuthn API response to a `navigator.credentials.create()` call.

*Note*: The Webauthn API uses binary data represented by ArrayBuffers for certain input/output values.
The Hanko API returns these values as base64url-encoded, so they must be converted to ArrayBuffers

Finalize WebAuthn registration

Returns a list of WebAuthn credentials assigned to the current user.


Get a list of WebAuthn credentials

Deletes the specified WebAuthn credential.


Deletes a WebAuthn credential

Retrieve a [JSON Web Key Set](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7517#section-5) (JWKS) object containing the public `keys` used to verify
JSON Web Tokens (JWT) issued by the Hanko API and signed using the RS256 signing algorithm.


Get JSON Web Key Set

Retrieve public backend configuration options.

Useful for example for conditionally constructing a UI based on the options (e.g. don't show password
inputs when they are disabled).


Get public Hanko configuration

Initialize an OAuth-backed (authorization code grant type) login with a third party provider by redirecting to
the specified provider login URL to retrieve an authorization code.


Initialize third party login

Callback endpoint called by the third party provider after successful login.

Third party provider callback

Provide a one time token (e.g. obtained through the [thirdparty callback](#tag/Third-Party/operation/thirdPartyCallback)) to retrieve a session JWT as cookie
and/or via `X-Auth-Token` header.


Exchange one time token for session

Retrieve details for user corresponding to the given `email`.

Get user details by email

Used to delete the current user. Note that `config.account.allow_deletion` must be set to true.

Deletes the current user

Retrieve the user ID for the current user (i.e. the subject of the JWT).

Get the current user ID

Logs out the user by removing the authorization cookie.

Log out the current user

Used to create a new user. To disable this endpoint, `config.account.allow_signup` must be set to false.
