Responses

HeaderType and limitsMeaning
Cache-Controlstring; {"pattern":"(?:^|,\\s*)no-store(?:,|$)"}Private API responses prohibit storage. Public OAuth metadata is cached for 300 seconds; live streams additionally prohibit transformation.
Content-Languagestring; {"enum":["en","de"]}Language of human-readable response text, resolved from Accept-Language or the documented browser preference. Technical codes and identifiers remain stable.
Referrer-PolicyJSON; {"enum":["strict-origin-when-cross-origin","no-referrer"]}The default referrer policy is strict-origin-when-cross-origin. Provider-login responses use no-referrer to protect login parameters.
VarystringResponses vary by Accept-Language; browser-rendered responses can also vary by the preference cookie.
X-Content-Type-OptionsJSON; {"const":"nosniff"}The browser must use the declared content type.
X-Frame-OptionsJSON; {"const":"DENY"}The response must not be embedded in a frame.
X-Request-IDstringServer-generated request identifier. Include this when reporting an error; inbound values are not trusted.

Retries and asynchronous work

This operation reads or validates without applying a resource mutation. Respect rate limits and credential lifetime.

Request examples

Replace demo IDs, timestamps and placeholders with your own values. For a retry, keep the same IDs, time and content. These examples do not run requests on this page.

Keep login links, codes, cookies and keys private. Do not print them in logs or share them in support requests.

  • HTTP API, OAuth and MCP

    Find the user API endpoints, their permissions, fields, examples and response formats.

  • POST Request a code for one sensitive action

    Request a six-digit confirmation code for a sensitive account or workspace change. It lasts five minutes and allows five incorrect attempts. Use the same signed-in browser, action, target and parameters when confirming. A replacement requested after 60 seconds invalidates the previous code for that action. For your own account use link_identity, unlink_identity, add_passkey, remove_passkey or delete_self; workspace membership actions require owner permission. Do not use sign-in codes to confirm changes.

  • DELETE Cancel your pending action confirmation

    Only an outstanding confirmation belonging to the current account and session can be cancelled.

  • POST Confirm a new email address and revoke sessions

    Confirm a new email address and revoke sessions.
