# Authentication Guide
**Version**: 1.0.0
**Last Updated**: 2025-11-16
Complete guide for authenticating with the IGNY8 API v1.0.
---
## Overview
The IGNY8 API uses **JWT (JSON Web Token) Bearer Token** authentication. All endpoints require authentication except:
- `POST /api/v1/auth/login/` - User login
- `POST /api/v1/auth/register/` - User registration
---
## Authentication Flow
### 1. Register or Login
**Register** (if new user):
```http
POST /api/v1/auth/register/
Content-Type: application/json
{
"email": "user@example.com",
"username": "user",
"password": "secure_password123",
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Doe"
}
```
**Login** (existing user):
```http
POST /api/v1/auth/login/
Content-Type: application/json
{
"email": "user@example.com",
"password": "secure_password123"
}
```
### 2. Receive Tokens
**Response**:
```json
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"user": {
"id": 1,
"email": "user@example.com",
"username": "user",
"role": "owner",
"account": {
"id": 1,
"name": "My Account",
"slug": "my-account"
}
},
"access": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxLCJleHAiOjE3MDAxMjM0NTZ9...",
"refresh": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxLCJleHAiOjE3MDAxODk0NTZ9..."
},
"request_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
}
```
### 3. Use Access Token
Include the `access` token in all subsequent requests:
```http
GET /api/v1/planner/keywords/
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...
Content-Type: application/json
```
### 4. Refresh Token (when expired)
When the access token expires (15 minutes), use the refresh token:
```http
POST /api/v1/auth/refresh/
Content-Type: application/json
{
"refresh": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
}
```
**Response**:
```json
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"access": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...",
"refresh": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
},
"request_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
}
```

## Token Expiration
- **Access Token**: 15 minutes
- **Refresh Token**: 7 days
### Handling Token Expiration
**Option 1: Automatic Refresh**
```python
def get_access_token():
# Check if token is expired
if is_token_expired(current_token):
# Refresh token
response = requests.post(
f"{BASE_URL}/auth/refresh/",
json={"refresh": refresh_token}
)
data = response.json()
if data['success']:
return data['data']['access']
return current_token
```
**Option 2: Re-login**
```python
def login():
response = requests.post(
f"{BASE_URL}/auth/login/",
json={"email": email, "password": password}
)
data = response.json()
if data['success']:
return data['data']['access']
```
---
## Code Examples
### Python
```python
import requests
import time
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
class Igny8API:
def __init__(self, base_url="https://api.igny8.com/api/v1"):
self.base_url = base_url
self.access_token = None
self.refresh_token = None
self.token_expires_at = None
def login(self, email, password):
"""Login and store tokens"""
response = requests.post(
f"{self.base_url}/auth/login/",
json={"email": email, "password": password}
)
data = response.json()
if data['success']:
self.access_token = data['data']['access']
self.refresh_token = data['data']['refresh']
# Token expires in 15 minutes
self.token_expires_at = datetime.now() + timedelta(minutes=14)
return True
else:
print(f"Login failed: {data['error']}")
return False
def refresh_access_token(self):
"""Refresh access token using refresh token"""
if not self.refresh_token:
return False
response = requests.post(
f"{self.base_url}/auth/refresh/",
json={"refresh": self.refresh_token}
)
data = response.json()
if data['success']:
self.access_token = data['data']['access']
self.refresh_token = data['data']['refresh']
self.token_expires_at = datetime.now() + timedelta(minutes=14)
return True
else:
print(f"Token refresh failed: {data['error']}")
return False
def get_headers(self):
"""Get headers with valid access token"""
# Check if token is expired or about to expire
if not self.token_expires_at or datetime.now() >= self.token_expires_at:
if not self.refresh_access_token():
raise Exception("Token expired and refresh failed")
return {
'Authorization': f'Bearer {self.access_token}',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
def get(self, endpoint):
"""Make authenticated GET request"""
response = requests.get(
f"{self.base_url}{endpoint}",
headers=self.get_headers()
)
return response.json()
def post(self, endpoint, data):
"""Make authenticated POST request"""
response = requests.post(
f"{self.base_url}{endpoint}",
headers=self.get_headers(),
json=data
)
return response.json()
# Usage
api = Igny8API()
api.login("user@example.com", "password")
# Make authenticated requests
keywords = api.get("/planner/keywords/")
```
### JavaScript
```javascript
class Igny8API {
constructor(baseUrl = 'https://api.igny8.com/api/v1') {
this.baseUrl = baseUrl;
this.accessToken = null;
this.refreshToken = null;
this.tokenExpiresAt = null;
}
async login(email, password) {
const response = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}/auth/login/`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ email, password })
});
const data = await response.json();
if (data.success) {
this.accessToken = data.data.access;
this.refreshToken = data.data.refresh;
// Token expires in 15 minutes
this.tokenExpiresAt = new Date(Date.now() + 14 * 60 * 1000);
return true;
} else {
console.error('Login failed:', data.error);
return false;
}
}
async refreshAccessToken() {
if (!this.refreshToken) {
return false;
}
const response = await fetch(`${this.baseUrl}/auth/refresh/`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ refresh: this.refreshToken })
});
const data = await response.json();
if (data.success) {
this.accessToken = data.data.access;
this.refreshToken = data.data.refresh;
this.tokenExpiresAt = new Date(Date.now() + 14 * 60 * 1000);
return true;
} else {
console.error('Token refresh failed:', data.error);
return false;
}
}
async getHeaders() {
// Check if token is expired or about to expire
if (!this.tokenExpiresAt || new Date() >= this.tokenExpiresAt) {
if (!await this.refreshAccessToken()) {
throw new Error('Token expired and refresh failed');
}
}
return {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${this.accessToken}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};
}
async get(endpoint) {
const response = await fetch(
`${this.baseUrl}${endpoint}`,
{ headers: await this.getHeaders() }
);
return await response.json();
}
async post(endpoint, data) {
const response = await fetch(
`${this.baseUrl}${endpoint}`,
{
method: 'POST',
headers: await this.getHeaders(),
body: JSON.stringify(data)
}
);
return await response.json();
}
}
// Usage
const api = new Igny8API();
await api.login('user@example.com', 'password');
// Make authenticated requests
const keywords = await api.get('/planner/keywords/');
```

## Security Best Practices
### 1. Store Tokens Securely
**❌ Don't:**
- Store tokens in localStorage (XSS risk)
- Commit tokens to version control
- Log tokens in console/logs
- Send tokens in URL parameters
**✅ Do:**
- Store tokens in httpOnly cookies (server-side)
- Use secure storage (encrypted) for client-side
- Rotate tokens regularly
- Implement token revocation
### 2. Handle Token Expiration
Always check token expiration and refresh before making requests:
```python
def is_token_valid(token_expires_at):
# Refresh 1 minute before expiration
return datetime.now() < (token_expires_at - timedelta(minutes=1))
```
### 3. Implement Retry Logic
```python
def make_request_with_retry(url, headers, max_retries=3):
for attempt in range(max_retries):
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 401:
# Token expired, refresh and retry
refresh_token()
headers = get_headers()
continue
return response.json()
raise Exception("Max retries exceeded")
```
### 4. Validate Token Before Use
```python
def validate_token(token):
try:
# Decode token (without verification for structure check)
import jwt
decoded = jwt.decode(token, options={"verify_signature": False})
exp = decoded.get('exp')
if exp and datetime.fromtimestamp(exp) < datetime.now():
return False
return True
except:
return False
```

## Error Handling
### Authentication Errors
**401 Unauthorized**:
```json
{
"success": false,
"error": "Authentication required",
"request_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
}
```
**Solution**: Include valid `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.
**403 Forbidden**:
```json
{
"success": false,
"error": "Permission denied",
"request_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
}
```
**Solution**: User lacks required permissions. Check user role and resource access.
---
## Testing Authentication
### Using Swagger UI
1. Navigate to `https://api.igny8.com/api/docs/`
2. Click "Authorize" button
3. Enter: `Bearer <your_token>`
4. Click "Authorize"
5. All requests will include the token
### Using cURL
```bash
# Login
curl -X POST https://api.igny8.com/api/v1/auth/login/ \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"email":"user@example.com","password":"password"}'
# Use token
curl -X GET https://api.igny8.com/api/v1/planner/keywords/ \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Issue: "Authentication required" (401)
**Causes**:
- Missing Authorization header
- Invalid token format
- Expired token
**Solutions**:
1. Verify `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header is included
2. Check token is not expired
3. Refresh token or re-login
### Issue: "Permission denied" (403)
**Causes**:
- User lacks required role
- Resource belongs to different account
- Site/sector access denied
**Solutions**:
1. Check user role has required permissions
2. Verify resource belongs to user's account
3. Check site/sector access permissions
### Issue: Token expires frequently
**Solution**: Implement automatic token refresh before expiration.
