Keys APIs

Overview

This API has been available since 1.6.0

Cryptographic keys are used in signing and verifying JWTs and verifying responses for third party identity providers. It is more likely you will interact with keys using the FusionAuth UI in the Key Master menu. If you do have a need to retrieve or manage keys using the API the following APIs have been provided.

Retrieve a Key

This API is used to retrieve a single Key by unique Id or all of the configured Keys.

Request

Retrieve all of the Keys

URI

GET /api/key

Retrieve a Key by Id

URI

GET /api/key/{keyId}

Request Parameters

keyId [UUID] Required

The unique Id of the Key to retrieve.

Response

The response for this API contains either a single Key or all of the Keys. When you call this API with an Id the response will contain a single Key. When you call this API without an Id the response will contain all of the Keys. Both response types are defined below along with an example JSON response.

Table 1. Response Codes
Code Description

200

The request was successful. The response will contain a JSON body.

400

The request was invalid and/or malformed. The response will contain an Errors JSON Object with the specific errors. This status will also be returned if a paid FusionAuth license is required and is not present.

401

You did not supply a valid Authorization header. The header was omitted or your API key was not valid. The response will be empty. See Authentication.

404

The object you requested doesn’t exist. The response will be empty.

500

There was an internal error. A stack trace is provided and logged in the FusionAuth log files. The response will be empty.

503

The search index is not available or encountered an exception so the request cannot be completed. The response will contain a JSON body.

key.publicKey [String] Optional

The Key public key. Required if importing an RSA or EC key and a certificate is not provided.

key.privateKey [String] Optional

The Key private key. Optional if importing an RSA or EC key. If the key is only to be used for token validation, only a public key is necessary and this field may be omitted.

key.secret [String] Optional

The Key secret. This field is required if importing an HMAC key type.

There was an internal error. A stack trace is provided and logged in the FusionAuth log files. The response will be empty.

503

The search index is not available or encountered an exception so the request cannot be completed. The response will contain a JSON body.

Response Body

key.algorithm [String]

The algorithm used to generate the key.

key.certificate [String]

The RSA or EC X.509 certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.certificateInformation [Map<String, Object]

The RSA or EC certificate information. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.certificateInformation.issuer [String]

The issuer of the RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.certificateInformation.md5Fingerprint [String]

The md5 fingerprint of the RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.certificateInformation.serialNumber [String]

The serial number of the RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.certificateInformation.sha1Fingerprint [String]

The SHA-1 fingerprint of the RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.certificateInformation.sha1Thumbprint [String]

The SHA-1 thumbprint of the RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.certificateInformation.sha256Fingerprint [String]

The SHA-256 fingerprint of the RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.certificateInformation.sha256Thumbprint [String]

The SHA-256 thumbprint of the RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.certificateInformation.subject [String]

The subject of the RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.certificateInformation.validFrom [Integer]

The UNIX time in milliseconds marking the start of the RSA or EC certificate validity period. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.certificateInformation.validTo [Integer]

The UNIX time in milliseconds marking the expiration RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.expirationInstant [Integer]

The instant marking the expiration RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.hasPrivateKey [Boolean]

Because the private key will never be returned in the API response, this value will indicate if the private key is stored in FusionAuth. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.id [UUID]

The Id of the Key.

key.insertInstant [Long]

The instant that the key was added to the FusionAuth database.

key.issuer [String]

The issuer of the RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.kid [String]

The key identifier 'kid'.

key.lastUpdateInstant [Long]

The instant that the key was updated in the FusionAuth database.

key.length [String]

The length of the RSA or EC certificate. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.name [String]

The name of the key.

key.publicKey [String]

The RSA or EC certificate public key. This field is omitted for HMAC key types.

key.type [String]

The key type. The possible values are:

  • EC

  • RSA

  • HMAC
