API Reference

important
  • This section is only for detailed API reference. This section will NOT provide a step by step guide.
  • For a step by step guide to implementing SuperTokens, please pick a recipe and follow the setup instructions in there.

You should directly interact with the APIs if:

  • You are building your own frontend and want to query APIs exposed via our backend SDK.
  • You are NOT using our backend SDK and want to query the core directly.

Please make sure that you have seen the architecture page.

Core driver interface#

See Open API Spec Here#

This is the API spec used by the backend SDK to query the SuperTokens Core.

To know which version you should see:

  • Check the version of the core you are running (for managed service, visit the dashboard, else run supertokens --version command)
  • Go to the supertokens-core GitHub page
  • Switch to the branch that matches the version of the core your running
  • Open the file called coreDriverInterfaceSupported.json
  • In there, you will see an array of X.Y values, pick the latest one, and see the API spec for that.

Frontend driver interface#

See Open API Spec Here#

This is the API spec used by the frontend SDK to query the backend SDK APIs.

To know which version you should see:

  • Go to our GitHub page of the backend or frontend SDK you are using
  • Switch to the branch that matches the version of the SDK
  • Open the file called frontendDriverInterfaceSupported.json
  • In there, you will see an array of X.Y values, pick the latest one, and see the API spec for that.
