Examples

An example Register -> Verify -> Authenticate -> Delete flow. The examples use the HTTPie CLI.

1. Register a new account

$ http -v POST https://api.nerdcult.net/account/register email=test@not.existing password=pwd username=username
POST /account/register HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json, */*;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 73
Content-Type: application/json
Host: api.nerdcult.net
User-Agent: HTTPie/3.2.1

{
    "email": "test@not.existing",
    "password": "pwd",
    "username": "username"
}


HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 0
Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2023 13:37:35 GMT
Server: nginx/1.24.0
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains

This sends a verification token to the email you specified in the request body. Such a token looks like this: f68b0ee33bbe4850991993c361997003.

2. Verify the created account

$ http -v POST https://api.nerdcult.net/account/verify token="f68b0ee33bbe4850991993c361997003"
POST /account/verify HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json, */*;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 45
Content-Type: application/json
Host: api.nerdcult.net
User-Agent: HTTPie/3.2.1

{
    "token": "f68b0ee33bbe4850991993c361997003"
}


HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 0
Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2023 13:41:51 GMT
Server: nginx/1.24.0
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains

The account is now verified and functional.

3. Get an access token

$ http -v POST https://api.nerdcult.net/account/authenticate username=username password=pwd
POST /account/authenticate HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json, */*;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 43
Content-Type: application/json
Host: api.nerdcult.net
User-Agent: HTTPie/3.2.1

{
    "password": "pwd",
    "username": "username"
}


HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 44
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2023 13:44:17 GMT
Server: nginx/1.24.0
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains

{
    "token": "f11f952c9d734461a11b087a27a219e2"
}

This token can now be used to call other API calls. It will expire after 7 days.

4. Delete the account

$ http -v DELETE https://api.nerdcult.net/account/delete -A bearer -a f11f952c9d734461a11b087a27a219e2
DELETE /account/delete HTTP/1.1
