296<p>See the <a href="http://shaarli.github.io/api-documentation/">REST API documentation</a>.</p>
297<h2 id="authentication">Authentication</h2>
298<p>All requests to Shaarli's API must include a JWT token to verify their authenticity.</p>
299<p>This token has to be included as an HTTP header called <code>Authentication: Bearer &lt;jwt token&gt;</code>.</p>
300<p>JWT resources :</p>
301<ul>
302<li><a href="https://jwt.io">jwt.io</a> (including a list of client per language).</li>
303<li>RFC : https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519</li>
304<li>https://float-middle.com/json-web-tokens-jwt-vs-sessions/</li>

306</ul>
307<h3 id="shaarli-jwt-token">Shaarli JWT Token</h3>
308<p>JWT tokens are composed by three parts, separated by a dot <code>.</code> and encoded in base64:</p>
309<pre><code>[header].[payload].[signature]
310</code></pre>
311
312<h4 id="header">Header</h4>
313<p>Shaarli only allow one hash algorithm, so the header will always be the same:</p>
314<pre><code class="json">{
315 &quot;typ&quot;: &quot;JWT&quot;,
316 &quot;alg&quot;: &quot;HS512&quot;
317}
318</code></pre>
319
320<p>Encoded in base64, it gives:</p>
321<pre><code>ewogICAgICAgICJ0eXAiOiAiSldUIiwKICAgICAgICAiYWxnIjogIkhTNTEyIgogICAgfQ==
322</code></pre>
323
324<h4 id="payload">Payload</h4>
325<p><strong>Validity duration</strong></p>
326<p>To avoid infinite token validity, JWT tokens must include their creation date in UNIX timestamp format (timezone independant - UTC) under the key <code>iat</code> (issued at). This token will be accepted during 9 minutes.</p>
327<pre><code class="json">{
328 &quot;iat&quot;: 1468663519
329}
330</code></pre>
331
332<p>See <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519#section-4.1.6">RFC reference</a>.</p>
333<h4 id="signature">Signature</h4>
334<p>The signature authenticate the token validity. It contains the base64 of the header and the body, separated by a dot <code>.</code>, hashed in SHA512 with the API secret available in Shaarli administration page.</p>
335<p>Signature example with PHP:</p>
336<pre><code class="php">$content = base64_encode($header) . '.' . base64_encode($payload);
337$signature = hash_hmac('sha512', $content, $secret);
338</code></pre>
