Introduction

This document describes the internal API of the application. The internal API is used in communication of backend. The internal API is not exposed to the public and is only used by the backend.

Authorization

The followinig API are authorized with Bearer-type tokens. Remote servers must send API key through HTTP header Authorization with Bearer-type token. The API key is generated by backend and is unique for each remote server. The API key is used to identify the remote server. Hashed API keys are stored in file system. The API key is generated by the following command:

$NewApiKey = random_bytes(40);
$HashedApiKey = crypt($newApiKey, 'salt');  //server only stores hashed API key

And the API keys storage file example is here.
