Authenticate a User given an OAuth token. This endpoint verifies that the user completed the OAuth flow by verifying that the token is valid and hasn’t expired. To initiate a Stytch session for the user while authenticating their OAuth token, include session_duration_minutes; a session with the identity provider, e.g. Google or Facebook, will always be initiated upon successful authentication.

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

​
token
string
required

The OAuth token from the ?token= query parameter in the URL.

The redirect URL will look like `https://example.com/authenticate?stytch_token_type=oauth&token=rM_kw42CWBhsHLF62V75jELMbvJ87njMe3tFVj7Qupu7`

  In the redirect URL, the `stytch_token_type` will be `oauth`. See [here](https://stytch.com/docs/workspace-management/redirect-urls) for more detail.
​
session_token
string

Reuse an existing session instead of creating a new one. If you provide us with a session_token, then we'll update the session represented by this session token with this OAuth factor. If this session_token belongs to a different user than the OAuth token, 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 not be created.

​
session_jwt
string

Reuse an existing session instead of creating a new one. If you provide us with a session_jwt, then we'll update the session represented by this JWT with this OAuth factor. If this session_jwt belongs to a different user than the OAuth token, the session_jwt will be ignored. This endpoint will error if both session_token and session_jwt are provided.

​
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.

​
code_verifier
string

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

​
telemetry_id
string

If the telemetry_id is passed, as part of this request, Stytch will call the Fingerprint Lookup API and store the associated fingerprints and IPGEO information for the User. Your workspace must be enabled for Device Fingerprinting to use this feature.

Response

Successful response

​
request_id
string
required

Globally unique UUID that is returned with every API call. This value is important to log for debugging purposes; we may ask for this value to help identify a specific API call when helping you debug an issue.

​
user_id
string
required

The unique ID of the affected User.

​
provider_subject
string
required

The unique identifier for the User within a given OAuth provider. Also commonly called the "sub" or "Subject field" in OAuth protocols.

​
provider_type
string
required

Denotes the OAuth identity provider that the user has authenticated with, e.g. Google, Facebook, GitHub etc.

​
session_token
string
required

A secret token for a given Stytch Session.

​
session_jwt
string
required

The JSON Web Token (JWT) for a given Stytch Session.

​
provider_values
object
required

The provider_values object lists relevant identifiers, values, and scopes for a given OAuth provider. For example this object will include a provider's access_token that you can use to access the provider's API for a given user.

Note that these values will vary based on the OAuth provider in question, e.g. id_token is only returned by OIDC compliant identity providers.

​
user
object
required

The user object affected by this API call. See the Get user endpoint for complete response field details.

​
reset_sessions
boolean
required

Indicates if all other of the User's Sessions need to be reset. You should check this field if you aren't using Stytch's Session product. If you are using Stytch's Session product, we revoke the User's other sessions for you.

​
oauth_user_registration_id
string
required

The unique ID for an OAuth registration.

​
status_code
integer<int32>
required

The HTTP status code of the response. Stytch follows standard HTTP response status code patterns, e.g. 2XX values equate to success, 3XX values are redirects, 4XX are client errors, and 5XX are server errors.

​
user_session
object

A Session object. For backwards compatibility reasons, the session from an OAuth authenticate call is labeled as user_session, but is otherwise just a standard stytch Session object.

See Session object for complete response fields.

​
user_device
object

If a valid telemetry_id was passed in the request and the Fingerprint Lookup API returned results, the user_device response field will contain information about the user's device attributes.
