Customer authentication

The customers are the visitors to your website or mobile app users.

When logging in as a customer, you need a profile API key.

Authenticating as a recognized customer

You can use the following endpoints to authenticate as a customer:

• Registers an account (unless the account already exists) when logging in using Facebook, Google, Sign in with Apple, or OAuth
• Does not register an account

Both endpoints accept the same payload.

If you use Synerise RaaS authentication, none of the endpoints above can be used to register an account. See Customer registration.

Example: Synerise RaaS authentication

The example includes only the fields that are required.

curl --request POST 
  --url https://{SYNERISE_API_BASE_PATH}/sauth/v3/auth/login/client 
  --header 'content-type: application/json' 
  --data '{
      "apiKey": "1c586ac4-cb47-4c45-a7cf-e0fb74e8e5f4",
      "identityProvider": "SYNERISE",
      "password": "Pass1!",
      "uuid": "5f89a52f-e526-4c7d-a50c-3f5c744d3162",
  }'

The response is a JSON Web Token (JWT) that must be included in the Authorization header of further requests. By default, the token is valid for 60 minutes.

Example: Facebook authentication, no registration if account does not exist

The example includes only the fields that are required.

curl --request POST 
  --url https://{SYNERISE_API_BASE_PATH}/sauth/v3/auth/login/client/conditional 
  --header 'content-type: application/json' 
  --data '{
      "apiKey": "1c586ac4-cb47-4c45-a7cf-e0fb74e8e5f4",
      "identityProvider": "FACEBOOK",
      "identityProviderToken": "EAAfsMmaWLW0BAJZC3BWUZBi0izUcN9YntYLOZCtTkoPDrkcugIubbwrcXPPUPGKR6q4rdJdaK1sgNg4ARxVBQfUab8hafhPc2sXafL4wHVpS5mnEqrFTKbSHqj3ZBjX6HzMXXZA6qYnfNlzOQvjCEabjqgUdNQE6SrtPNQ7s7gZAOzFP3Ad1QB5vqxb276JM9yhBjVRp5SCdwZDZD"
  }'

The response is a JSON Web Token (JWT) that must be included in the Authorization header of further requests. By default, the token is valid for 60 minutes.

Authenticating as an anonymous customer

You can find the method under the “Authenticate Anonymously” section in the API reference.
You can generate a JWT for a customer who does not have an account.

curl --request POST 
  --url https://{SYNERISE_API_BASE_PATH}/sauth/v3/auth/login/client/anonymous 
  --header 'content-type: application/json' 
  --data '{
    "apiKey":"1c586ac4-cb47-4c45-a7cf-e0fb74e8e5f4",
    "deviceId":"b8af0626-d5cf-44d6-b12a-ec72f946db6f",
    "uuid":"07243772-008a-42e1-ba37-c3807cebde8f"
  }'

The response is a JSON Web Token (JWT) that must be included in the Authorization header of further requests. By default, the token is valid for 60 minutes.

Refreshing JWT

You can find the method under the “Refresh a Profile token” section in the API reference.

When the token is about to expire, you can obtain a new one without logging in again. This is not possible if the token has already expired.

curl --request POST 
  --url https://{SYNERISE_API_BASE_PATH}/sauth/v3/auth/refresh/client 
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer _YOUR_JWT_TOKEN_' 
  --header 'content-type: application/json' 
  --data '{
    "apiKey":"1c586ac4-cb47-4c45-a7cf-e0fb74e8e5f4"
    }'

The response is a new token.
