API Reference

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#

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.

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.
