Path Parameters

​
auth_provider
string
required

The provider used for authentication.

Example:

"emailpass"

Body

application/json

The input data necessary for authentication. For example, for email-pass authentication, pass email and password properties. For the Google and GitHub authentication providers, you can pass callback_url to indicate the URL in the frontend that the user should be redirected to after completing their authentication. This will override the provider's callbackUrl configurations in medusa-config.ts.

Response

OK

The authentication's details.

​
token
string
required

The JWT token used for registration or authentication.
