One-Time Login

Download OpenAPI specification:Download

Login users using one-time login methods like magic links or OTPs. This implements a backend-to-backend integration for authentication.

Send email link

Send a magic link by email to a user. Upon clicking the email link, the User Agent will be redirected to the requested redirect URI with a code (passed in the code query parameter). This code can be used to complete the authentication in the subsequent request.
