2FAuth is built on top of its own REST API (following OpenAPI 3.1 specification), which can be used to make any other app communicate with 2FAuth.
The API provides endpoints to manage most of the 2FAuth resources:
| Resource | Description { class="compact" } |
|---|---|
| twofaccounts | The 2FA accounts stored in 2FAuth which you need to generate One-Time Passwords (OTP) |
| one-time password | The One-Time Passwords (TOTP or HOTP) generated on demand |
| groups | The groups used to organize 2FA accounts in 2FAuth |
| qrcode | Two-dimensional barcode used to encode/share 2FA accounts |
| icons | Images used to illustrate 2FA accounts in 2FAuth |
| preferences | The user preferences |
| settings | The 2FAuth administrator settings, which can be extended with custom settings |
You authenticate in the 2FAuth API with a Personal Access Token (PAT) built upon the OAUTH Bearer authentication scheme (see RFC 6750).
That means the PAT has to be passed via the HTTP Authorization header in every request made to the API.
Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJhdWQiOiIxIiwianRpIjoiMzZjOTc5NmFlZGI2OGQyYmE2YTIyMTE0NTNA PAT is valid until you decide to revoke it.

The API has its own dedicated documentation that you can browse in a lightweight format below.
You may also use the fullscreen format which provides previous versions, a more comfortable layout and modern features like advanced search, mocking and more:
