Free tier, no form to fill in. Signing in shares your email address with us — we store it to create your key and to recognise you if you sign in with another provider. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.

title: Hanko Public Token API
description: '## Introduction
This is the OpenAPI specification for the [Hanko Public API](https://github.com/teamhanko/hanko/blob/main/backend/README.md#basic-usage).
## Authentication
The API uses [JSON Web Tokens](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7519.html) (JWTs) for authentication.
JWTs are verified using [JSON Web Keys](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7517) (JWK).
JWKs can be [configured](https://github.com/teamhanko/hanko/blob/main/backend/docs/Config.md#all-available-config-options)
through the `secrets.keys` options. The API also publishes public cryptographic keys as a
[JWK set](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7517#section-2) through the `.well-known/jwks.json` endpoint
to enable clients to verify token signatures.
JWTs must be provided on requests to protected endpoints using one of the following schemes:
### CookieAuth
**Security Scheme Type**: `API Key`
**Cookie parameter name**: `hanko`
The JWT must be provided in a Cookie with the name `hanko`.
### BearerTokenAuth
**Security Scheme Type**: `http`
**HTTP Authorization Scheme**: `Bearer`
**Bearer format**: `JWT`
The JWT must be provided in an HTTP Authorization header with bearer type: `Authorization: Bearer <JWT>`.
## Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) can be currently
[configured](https://github.com/teamhanko/hanko/blob/main/backend/docs/Config.md#all-available-config-options)
for public endpoints via the `server.public.cors` options.
