This endpoint verifies that the Magic Link token is valid, hasn’t expired or been previously used, and any optional security settings such as IP match or user agent match are satisfied.

Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Basic authentication header of the form Basic <encoded-value>, where <encoded-value> is the base64-encoded string username:password.

Body

application/json

Request type

​
magic_links_token
string
required

The Email Magic Link token to authenticate.

​
pkce_code_verifier
string

A base64url encoded one time secret used to validate that the request starts and ends on the same device.

​
session_token
string

Reuse an existing session instead of creating a new one. If you provide a session_token, Stytch will update the session. If the session_token and magic_links_token belong to different Members, the session_token will be ignored. This endpoint will error if both session_token and session_jwt are provided.

​
session_jwt
string

Reuse an existing session instead of creating a new one. If you provide a session_jwt, Stytch will update the session. If the session_jwt and magic_links_token belong to different Members, the session_jwt will be ignored. This endpoint will error if both session_token and session_jwt are provided.

​
session_duration_minutes
integer<int32>

Set the session lifetime to be this many minutes from now. This will start a new session if one doesn't already exist, returning both an opaque session_token and session_jwt for this session. Remember that the session_jwt will have a fixed lifetime of five minutes regardless of the underlying session duration, and will need to be refreshed over time.

This value must be a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 527040 minutes (366 days).

If a session_token or session_jwt is provided then a successful authentication will continue to extend the session this many minutes.

If the session_duration_minutes parameter is not specified, a Stytch session will be created with a 60 minute duration. If you don't want to use the Stytch session product, you can ignore the session fields in the response.

​
session_custom_claims
object

Add a custom claims map to the Session being authenticated. Claims are only created if a Session is initialized by providing a value in session_duration_minutes. Claims will be included on the Session object and in the JWT. To update a key in an existing Session, supply a new value. To delete a key, supply a null value. Custom claims made with reserved claims (iss, sub, aud, exp, nbf, iat, jti) will be ignored. Total custom claims size cannot exceed four kilobytes.

​
locale
enum<string>

If the Member needs to complete an MFA step, and the Member has a phone number, this endpoint will pre-emptively send a one-time passcode (OTP) to the Member's phone number. The locale argument will be used to determine which language to use when sending the passcode.

Parameter is an IETF BCP 47 language tag, e.g. "en".

Currently supported languages are English ("en"), Spanish ("es"), and Brazilian Portuguese ("pt-br"); if no value is provided, the copy defaults to English.

Request support for additional languages here!

Available options:
en,
es,
pt-br,
fr
​
intermediate_session_token
string

Adds this primary authentication factor to the intermediate session token. If the resulting set of factors satisfies the organization's primary authentication requirements and MFA requirements, the intermediate session token will be consumed and converted to a member session. If not, the same intermediate session token will be returned.

​
telemetry_id
string
