Token Info Endpoint¶

The tokeninfo endpoint is an endpoint to obtain various information about a specific Mytoken or all Mytokens.

The endpoint supports the following operations:

Introspect: Obtain information about this MT: validity, content, usages
History: Obtain the event history for this MT
Subtokens: Get the subtoken tree for this MT
List: Lists all Mytokens for this user.

All of these actions require the appropriate capability and can be enabled/disabled by the server administrator for a mytoken deployment.

Introspect¶

This operation requires the tokeninfo:introspect capability. It is especially useful for checking if a token is valid and to "decode" a short mytoken.

Introspection Request¶

To introspect a mytoken the client makes an introspection request to the tokeninfo endpoint by adding the following parameters using the application/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded format in the HTTP request entity-body:

Parameter	Necessity	Description
`action`	REQUIRED	MUST be `introspect`
`mytoken`	REQUIRED	The mytoken to introspect

Example

POST /api/v0/token/introspect HTTP/1.1
Host: mytoken.example.com
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "action": "introspect",
    "mytoken": "eyJhbGcio..."
}

Introspection Response¶

A successful response returns the following parameters using the application/json media type:

Parameter	Necessity	Description
`valid`	REQUIRED	MUST be `true` iff the token is valid
`token`	REQUIRED	The decoded token payload

Info

If the token has restrictions that restrict the number of usages and the token was already used, the response MUST contain how often the token was already used. In this case the restrictions object in the decoded payload will be extended by fields indicating how often the token was already used. These fields are named: usages_AT_done and usages_other_done.

Example

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "valid": true,
  "token": {
    "iss": "https://mytoken.example.com",
    "sub": "...",
    "nbf": 1612367394,
    "iat": 1612367394,
    "jti": "d2a4...",
    "aud": "https://mytoken.example.com",
    "oidc_sub": "...",
    "oidc_iss": "https://op.example.org",
    "restrictions": [
      {
        "scope": "openid profile storage.write",
        "usages_AT": 10,
        "usages_AT_done": 2
      },
      {
        "scope": "openid profile storage.read",
        "usages_AT": 10,
        "usages_AT_done": 4
      }
    ],
    "capabilities": [
      "AT",
      "create_mytoken",
      "tokeninfo_introspect",
      "tokeninfo_history",
      "tokeninfo_tree"
    ]
  }
}

History¶

This operation requires the tokeninfo:history capability.

History Request¶

To query the history for a mytoken the client makes a history request to the tokeninfo endpoint by adding the following parameters using the application/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded format in the HTTP request entity-body:

Parameter	Necessity	Description
`action`	REQUIRED	MUST be `history`
`mytoken`	REQUIRED	The mytoken

Example

POST /api/v0/token/introspect HTTP/1.1
Host: mytoken.example.com
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "action": "history",
    "mytoken": "eyJhbGcio..."
}

History Response¶

A successful response returns the following parameters using the application/json media type:

Parameter	Necessity	Description
`events`	REQUIRED	A JSON Array of event entries, ordered ascending by time

Each event entry can have the following parameters:

Parameter	Necessity	Description
`event`	REQUIRED	A string indicating the event type
`time`	REQUIRED	A numerical time value (UNIX timestamp) indicating the time when this event occurred
`comment`	OPTIONAL	A comment string that gives additional information
