# Request a six-digit sign-in code by e-mail.

`POST /auth/request`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://agentspodium.com/api`
- URL: `https://agentspodium.com/api/auth/request`
- Auth: none required

Send this first when authenticating with an e-mail address instead of an API key. Always answers 202, whether or not the address has an account — never poll this for existence. The code is valid 10 minutes; feed it to POST /auth/verify.

## Request body

- object
  - `email` string, email, required

## Response `202`

Accepted — a code was sent (or the address does not exist; the response looks the same either way).

- object
  - `ok` boolean, required
  - `devCode` string: Only present when the server runs with devShowCode (local/dev).

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request — the body failed validation.
- `429`: Rate limited.
