# Complete API Reference
## Introduction
This comprehensive API reference documents all public APIs available in AuthFramework v0.4.0. Each endpoint includes detailed descriptions, request/response examples, error handling, and usage patterns to help developers integrate AuthFramework effectively.
## Base URL and Versioning
**Base URL**: `https://auth.yourdomain.com/api/v1`
**API Versioning**: AuthFramework uses semantic versioning for API compatibility:
- **Major version changes** (v1 → v2): Breaking changes
- **Minor version changes** (v1.1 → v1.2): Backward-compatible additions
- **Patch version changes** (v1.1.1 → v1.1.2): Bug fixes and security updates
## Authentication
All API endpoints (except public endpoints) require authentication via Bearer token:
```http
Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
```
### Obtaining Access Tokens
Use the `/auth/login` endpoint to obtain access tokens:
```bash
curl -X POST https://auth.yourdomain.com/api/v1/auth/login \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"username": "user@example.com",
"password": "secure_password"

# 3. Use access token for API calls
curl -X GET https://auth.yourdomain.com/api/v1/users/profile \

```
### MFA Setup Flow
```bash
# 1. Setup MFA
curl -X POST https://auth.yourdomain.com/api/v1/auth/mfa/setup \
-H "Authorization: Bearer access_token" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"method": "totp",
"label": "MyApp - user@example.com"
}'
# 2. User scans QR code and enters verification code
curl -X POST https://auth.yourdomain.com/api/v1/auth/mfa/verify-setup \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"setup_token": "mfa_setup_token",
"code": "123456"
}'
# 3. Future logins require MFA
curl -X POST https://auth.yourdomain.com/api/v1/auth/login \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"username": "user@example.com",
"password": "password"
}'
# Returns mfa_required error with mfa_token
curl -X POST https://auth.yourdomain.com/api/v1/auth/mfa/verify \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"mfa_token": "temp_mfa_token",
"code": "654321"
}'
```
## SDK and Integration Examples
### JavaScript/Node.js Example
```javascript
const AuthFramework = require('@authframework/client');
const auth = new AuthFramework({
baseUrl: 'https://auth.yourdomain.com/api/v1',
clientId: 'your_client_id',
clientSecret: 'your_client_secret'
});
// Login
try {
const result = await auth.login('user@example.com', 'password');
console.log('Login successful:', result.user);
// Store tokens
localStorage.setItem('access_token', result.access_token);
localStorage.setItem('refresh_token', result.refresh_token);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Login failed:', error.message);
}
// Make authenticated request
try {
const profile = await auth.getProfile();
console.log('User profile:', profile);
} catch (error) {
if (error.code === 401) {
// Token expired, try refresh
await auth.refreshToken();
const profile = await auth.getProfile();
}
}
```
### Python Example
```python
import requests
from authframework import AuthClient
# Initialize client
auth = AuthClient(
base_url='https://auth.yourdomain.com/api/v1',
client_id='your_client_id',
client_secret='your_client_secret'
)
# Login
try:
result = auth.login('user@example.com', 'password')
print(f"Login successful: {result['user']}")
# Store tokens
access_token = result['access_token']
refresh_token = result['refresh_token']
except AuthError as e:
print(f"Login failed: {e.message}")
# Make authenticated request
try:
profile = auth.get_profile()
print(f"User profile: {profile}")
except AuthError as e:
if e.code == 401:
# Refresh token and retry
auth.refresh_token()
profile = auth.get_profile()
```
### cURL Examples Collection
```bash
# Complete authentication flow
#!/bin/bash
BASE_URL="https://auth.yourdomain.com/api/v1"
EMAIL="user@example.com"
PASSWORD="secure_password"
# Login
echo "=== Login ==="
LOGIN_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/auth/login" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"username\":\"$EMAIL\",\"password\":\"$PASSWORD\"}")
echo $LOGIN_RESPONSE | jq .
# Extract tokens
# Get profile
echo -e "\n=== Get Profile ==="
curl -s -X GET "$BASE_URL/users/profile" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq .
# Refresh token
echo -e "\n=== Refresh Token ==="
curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/auth/refresh" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"refresh_token\":\"$REFRESH_TOKEN\"}" | jq .
# Logout
echo -e "\n=== Logout ==="
curl -s -X POST "$BASE_URL/auth/logout" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"all_devices\":false}" | jq .
```
## Best Practices
### Security Best Practices
1. **Always use HTTPS** in production
2. **Store tokens securely** (never in localStorage for sensitive apps)
3. **Implement token refresh** before expiration
4. **Validate SSL certificates** in API clients
5. **Use rate limiting** on client side
6. **Implement proper error handling** for security scenarios
### Performance Best Practices
1. **Cache user profile data** to reduce API calls
2. **Use connection pooling** for high-traffic applications
3. **Implement exponential backoff** for retries
4. **Monitor API response times** and adjust timeouts
5. **Use appropriate page sizes** for list endpoints
### Integration Best Practices
1. **Handle all error scenarios** gracefully
2. **Implement proper logging** for debugging
3. **Use webhooks** for real-time updates
4. **Test with rate limiting** enabled
5. **Validate all user inputs** before API calls
