Login
Authenticate a User
The Login API is used authenticate a user in FusionAuth. The issuer of the One Time Password will dictate if a JWT or a Refresh Token may be issued in the API response.
Request
By default, this API will require API key authentication when called with an applicationId . API key authentication may be disabled per Application, see application.loginConfiguration.requireAuthentication in the Application API or navigate to Applications -> Edit -> Security in the user interface.
Prior to version 1.5.0 this API did not accept an API key and never required authentication.
Request Headers
X-Forwarded-ForStringThe IP address of a client requesting authentication. If the IP address is provided it will be stored for login history of the user. It is generally preferred to specify the IP address in the request body. If it is not provided in the request body this header value will be used if available, the request body value will take precedence.
X-FusionAuth-TenantIdStringThe unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.
The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.
Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.
See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.
Request Cookies
fusionauth.trustStringThe Multi-Factor Trust identifier returned by the Multi-Factor Login API response. This value may be provided to bypass the Multi-Factor challenge when a User has Multi-Factor enabled. When this cookie exists on the request it will take precedence over the twoFactorTrustId if provided in the request body.
Request Body
applicationIdUUIDThe Id of the Application the user is to be logged into. This parameter is optional but there is not likely a production use case where you want to omit the value. If this parameter is omitted the user will still be authenticated but a login count will not be recorded for an Application.
See the difference between authentication and authorization for more detail.
ipAddressStringThe IP address of the end-user that is logging into FusionAuth. If this value is omitted FusionAuth will attempt to obtain the IP address of
the client, the value will be that of the X-Forwarded-For header if provided or the last proxy that sent the request. The IP address will
be stored in the User login history.
loginIdStringrequiredThe login identifier of the user. The login identifier can be either the email or the username .
Note: The value will be used exactly as provided to resolve a user by email or the username . If the provided value contains leading or trailing white space these characters will not be removed, and then would only match a user by email or the username if the values stored in FusionAuth also contain these same leading or trailing spaces.
You may optionally normalize this value prior to sending it to FusionAuth. If you are using a hosted login page, FusionAuth will use this API to complete login during an OAuth2 or SAML v2 workflow. In this case, you may optionally normalize or validate the user input client side using JavaScript or HTML 5 validation to achieve the same result.
metaData.device.descriptionStringA human readable description of the device used. This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.
metaData.device.lastAccessedAddressStringThe IP address which made this request.
metaData.device.nameStringA human readable name of the device used. This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.
metaData.device.typeStringThe type of device represented by the device parameter.
Prior to version 1.46.0, this value was restricted to the following types:
BROWSERDESKTOPLAPTOPMOBILEOTHERSERVERTABLETTVUNKNOWN
In version 1.46.0 and beyond, this value can be any string value you’d like, have fun with it!
This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.
noJWTBooleanDefaults to falseWhen this value is set to true a JWT will not be issued as part of this request. The response body will not contain the token or refreshToken fields, and the access_token and refresh_token cookies will not be written to the HTTP response.
This optional parameter may be helpful when performing high volume authentication requests and the JWT is not being utilized, in this scenario removing the additional latency required to issue and sign the JWT may have a measurable cumulative effect on performance.
passwordStringrequiredThe user’s password or an Application specific Authentication Token.
twoFactorTrustIdStringThe Multi-Factor Trust identifier returned by the Multi-Factor Login API response. This value may be provided to bypass the Multi-Factor challenge when a User has Multi-Factor enabled.

}Response Cookies
access_tokenStringThe encoded access token. This cookie is written in the response as an HTTP Only session cookie.
refresh_tokenStringThe refresh token. This cookie is written in the response as an HTTP only persistent cookie. The cookie expiration is configured in the JWT configuration for the application or the global JWT configuration.
Complete Multi-Factor Authentication
The Multi-Factor Login API is used to complete the authentication process when a 242 status code is returned by the Login API.
Request
Complete a login request when a User has Multi-Factor authentication enabled.
Request Headers
X-Forwarded-ForStringThe IP address of a client requesting authentication. If the IP address is provided it will be stored for login history of the user. It is generally preferred to specify the IP address in the request body. If it is not provided in the request body, this header value will be used if available. If provided in both places, the request body value takes precedence.
X-FusionAuth-TenantIdStringThe unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.
The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.
Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.
See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.
Request Body
applicationIdUUIDThe Id of the Application the user is to be logged into. This parameter is optional but there is not likely a production use case where you want to omit the value. If this parameter is omitted the user will still be authenticated but a login count will not be recorded for an Application.
See the difference between authentication and authorization for more detail.
codeStringrequiredThe Multi-Factor verification code. This may also be a recovery code.
ipAddressStringThe IP address of the end-user that is logging into FusionAuth. If this value is omitted FusionAuth will attempt to obtain the IP address
of the client, the value will be that of the X-Forwarded-For header if provided or the last proxy that sent the request. The IP address
will be stored in the User login history.
metaData.device.descriptionStringA human readable description of the device used. This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.
metaData.device.lastAccessedAddressStringThe IP address which made this request.
metaData.device.nameStringA human readable name of the device used. This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.
metaData.device.typeStringThe type of device represented by the device parameter.
Prior to version 1.46.0, this value was restricted to the following types:
BROWSERDESKTOPLAPTOPMOBILEOTHERSERVERTABLETTVUNKNOWN
In version 1.46.0 and beyond, this value can be any string value you’d like, have fun with it!
This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.
noJWTBooleanDefaults to falseWhen this value is set to true a JWT will not be issued as part of this request. The response body will not contain the token field,
and the access_token and refresh_token cookies will not be written to the HTTP response.
trustComputerBooleanDefaults to falseWhen this value is set to true the response will contain a Multi-Factor Trust identifier. This can be used on subsequent Login requests to allow the Multi-Factor challenge to be bypassed.
twoFactorIdStringrequiredAn Id generated and returned in the response body during the initial authentication attempt.
The default duration of this identifier is 5 minutes. This means that you have 5 minutes to complete the request to this API after calling the Login API. Once the identifier has expired you will need to call the Login API again to restart the process.
This duration can be modified using the Tenant API or in the FusionAuth UI.

the client, the value will be that of the X-Forwarded-For header if provided or the last proxy that sent the request. The IP address will
be stored in the User login history.
The userId is not required on the request. The userId and applicationId values will be retrieved from the identity claims in the JWT payload.
Request Parameters
ipAddressStringThe IP address of the end-user that is logging into FusionAuth. If this value is omitted FusionAuth will attempt to obtain the IP address of
the client, the value will be that of the X-Forwarded-For header if provided or the last proxy that sent the request. The IP address will
be stored in the User login history.
Request Headers
X-FusionAuth-TenantIdStringThe unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.
The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.
Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.
See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.
Response
This API does not return a JSON response body.
Response Codes
| Code | Description |

Logout a User
The Logout API is intended to be used to remove the refresh token and access token cookies if they exist on the client and revoke the refresh token. This API does nothing if the request does not contain an access token or refresh token cookies.
The refresh token is only revoked if the request contains the refresh_token cookie or the refreshToken request parameter.
This does not revoke the FusionAuth SSO session. Use /oauth2/logout to do so.
Request
Request Cookies
access_tokenStringThe access token cookie. When this cookie available in the request it will be deleted from the client.
refresh_tokenStringThe refresh token cookie. When this cookie available in the request it will be deleted from the client and revoked in FusionAuth.

Search Login Records
Available Since Version 1.7.0
This API allows you to search and paginate through the Login Records. Login Records are created in the following scenarios:
- A login is completed using any Login API (normal, one-time, passwordless, Identity Provider, Connector).
- A User is created with a password, whether self service or using the Registration API.
- A Refresh Token is exchanged for a JWT.
- A 2FA login is completed.
You can limit the number of Login Records retained by navigating to Settings -> System -> Advanced -> Login record settings and configuring automatic deletion of Login Records after a certain number of days.
Request
When calling the API using a GET request you will send the search criteria on the URL using request parameters. In order to simplify the example URL above, not every possible parameter is shown, however using the provided pattern you may add any of the documented request parameters to the URL.
Request Parameters
applicationIdUUIDThe unique Id of the Application used to narrow the search results to logins for a particular application.
endLongThe end instant of the date/time range to search within.
numberOfResultsIntegerDefaults to 25The number of results to return from the search.
retrieveTotalBooleanDefaults to falseSet this to true if you want the total possible results returned in the response. With a very large number of login records settings this value to true will increase the response time of this request.
