User Sign In & JWT Token Generation

Headers:

    Content-Type: application/json

Request Body:

{

 "email": "string",

"password": "string",

}

Sample Request:

curl -X POST https://api.volumez.com/signin \

  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

  -d '{

    "email": "demo@volumez.com",

    "password": "********"

  }'

  "IdToken": "eyJr...",

  "RefreshToken": "eyJjd...",

  "ExpiresIn": 86400,

  "TokenType": "Bearer"

}

Usage Note: We’ve extracted the JWT token as “IdToken” and used that parameter in the following API calls.

 curl -X POST https://api.volumez.com/signin \

  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

  -d '{"email":"demo@volumez.com", "password":"********"}' \

  | jq -r '.IdToken'

This command uses jq to parse the JSON response and extract the IdToken value.

User Sign Out

This call signs out users from all devices. It also invalidates all refresh tokens issued to a user. The user's current Access and Id tokens remain valid until their expiry.

curl -X POST https://api.volumez.com/signout -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"AccessToken":"<token>"}'

User Sign Out: Response

{}
