107<h2 id="authentication">Authentication</h2>
108<p>All requests to Shaarli's API must include a JWT token to verify their authenticity.</p>
109<p>This token has to be included as an HTTP header called <code>Authentication: Bearer &lt;jwt token&gt;</code>.</p>
110<p>JWT resources :</p>
111<ul>
112<li><a href="https://jwt.io">jwt.io</a> (including a list of client per language).<a href=".html"></a></li>

117<h3 id="shaarli-jwt-token">Shaarli JWT Token</h3>
118<p>JWT tokens are composed by three parts, separated by a dot <code>.</code> and encoded in base64:</p>
119<pre><code>[header].[payload].[signature][](.html)</code></pre>
120<h4 id="header">Header</h4>
121<p>Shaarli only allow one hash algorithm, so the header will always be the same:</p>
122<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode json"><code class="sourceCode json"><span class="fu">{</span>
123 <span class="dt">&quot;typ&quot;</span><span class="fu">:</span> <span class="st">&quot;JWT&quot;</span><span class="fu">,</span>
124 <span class="dt">&quot;alg&quot;</span><span class="fu">:</span> <span class="st">&quot;HS512&quot;</span>
125<span class="fu">}</span></code></pre></div>
126<p>Encoded in base64, it gives:</p>
127<pre><code>ewogICAgICAgICJ0eXAiOiAiSldUIiwKICAgICAgICAiYWxnIjogIkhTNTEyIgogICAgfQ==</code></pre>
128<h4 id="payload">Payload</h4>
129<p><strong>Validity duration</strong></p>
130<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>
131<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode json"><code class="sourceCode json"><span class="fu">{</span>
132 <span class="dt">&quot;iat&quot;</span><span class="fu">:</span> <span class="dv">1468663519</span>
133<span class="fu">}</span></code></pre></div>
134<p>See <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519#section-4.1.6">RFC reference</a>.<a href=".html"></a></p>
135<h4 id="signature">Signature</h4>
136<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>
137<p>Signature example with PHP:</p>
138<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode php"><code class="sourceCode php"><span class="kw">$content</span> = <span class="fu">base64_encode</span><span class="ot">(</span><span class="kw">$header</span><span class="ot">)</span> . <span class="st">&#39;.&#39;</span> . <span class="fu">base64_encode</span><span class="ot">(</span><span class="kw">$payload</span><span class="ot">);</span>
