# REST API Reference

OwnCord server REST API reference. All endpoints use the base URL `https://{server}:{port}/api/v1`.

---

## Authentication

All authenticated endpoints require a session token delivered via the `Authorization: Bearer {token}` header. Tokens are obtained from `POST /api/v1/auth/login`, `POST /api/v1/auth/register`, or `POST /api/v1/auth/verify-totp` after a partial 2FA challenge.

### Session Lifecycle

- Sessions are created on login/register and stored with a SHA-256 hash of the raw token, the client IP, User-Agent, and an expiry timestamp.
- Each authenticated request updates the session's `last_active` timestamp.
- Banned users are rejected at the middleware level with `403 FORBIDDEN`.

### Middleware Stack (all routes)

1. **RequestID** -- assigns a unique `X-Request-Id` response header.
2. **Recoverer** -- catches panics and returns 500.
3. **Request Logger** -- structured logging of method, path, status, duration.
4. **SecurityHeaders** -- sets `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, `X-Frame-Options: DENY`, `X-XSS-Protection: 0`, `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin`, `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'`, `Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()`, `Cache-Control: no-store`.
5. **MaxBodySize** -- 1 MiB default for all routes except `/api/v1/uploads` (which has its own 100 MiB limit).

---

## Standard Error Response

```json
{
  "error": "ERROR_CODE",
  "message": "Human-readable detail"
}
```
