--- labels: - 'Stage-Beta' summary: 'Authenticated HTTP API to create invites' rockspec: dependencies: - mod_invites ... Introduction ============ This module is part of the suite of modules that implement invite-based account registration for Prosody. The other modules are: - [mod_invites] - [mod_invites_adhoc] - [mod_invites_page] - [mod_invites_register] - [mod_invites_register_web] - [mod_register_apps] For details and a full overview, start with the [mod_invites] documentation. Details ======= mod_invites_api provides an authenticated HTTP API to create invites using mod_invites. You can use the command-line to create and manage API keys. Configuration ============= There are no specific configuration options for this module. All the usual [HTTP configuration options](https://prosody.im/doc/http) can be used to configure this module. API usage ========= Step 1: Create an API key, with an optional name to help you remember what it is for ``` $ prosodyctl mod_invites_api create example.com "My test key" ``` **Tip:** Remember to put quotes around your key name if it contains spaces. The command will print out a key: ``` HTwALnKL/73UUylA-2ZJbu9x1XMATuIbjWpip8ow1 ``` Step 2: Make a HTTP request to Prosody, containing the key ``` $ curl -v https://example.com:5281/invites_api?key=HTwALnKL/73UUylA-2ZJbu9x1XMATuIbjWpip8ow1 ``` Prosody will respond with a HTTP status code "201 Created" to indicate creation of the invite, and per HTTP's usual rules, the URL of the created invite page will be in the `Location` header: ``` < HTTP/1.1 201 Created < Access-Control-Max-Age: 7200 < Connection: Keep-Alive < Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * < Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2020 09:50:19 GMT < Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type < Access-Control-Allow-Methods: OPTIONS, GET < Content-Length: 0 < Location: https://example.com/invite?c-vhJjyB5Pb4HpAf ``` Sometimes for convenience, you may want to just visit the URL in the browser. Append `&redirect=true` to the URL, and instead Prosody will return a `303 See Other` response code, which will tell the browser to redirect straight to the newly-created invite. This is super handy in a bookmark :) If using the API programmatically, it is recommended to put the key in the `Authorization` header if possible. This is quite simple: ``` Authorization: Bearer HTwALnKL/73UUylA-2ZJbu9x1XMATuIbjWpip8ow1 ``` Key management ============== At any time you can view authorized keys using: ``` prosodyctl mod_invites_api list example.com ``` This will list out the id of each key, and the name if set: ``` HTwALnKL My test key ``` You can revoke a key by passing this key id to the 'delete` sub-command: ``` prosodyctl mod_invites_api delete example.com HTwALnKL ```
