Initialize Settings Flow for APIs, Services, Apps, ...

This endpoint initiates a settings flow for API clients such as mobile devices, smart TVs, and so on. You must provide a valid Ory Kratos Session Token for this endpoint to respond with HTTP 200 OK.

To fetch an existing settings flow call /self-service/settings/flows?flow=<flow_id>.

You MUST NOT use this endpoint in client-side (Single Page Apps, ReactJS, AngularJS) nor server-side (Java Server Pages, NodeJS, PHP, Golang, ...) browser applications. Using this endpoint in these applications will make you vulnerable to a variety of CSRF attacks.

This endpoint MUST ONLY be used in scenarios such as native mobile apps (React Native, Objective C, Swift, Java, ...).

More information can be found at Ory Kratos User Settings & Profile Management Documentation.

get/self-service/settings/api

Headers

X-Session-Tokenstring

The Session Token of the Identity performing the settings flow.

Response

selfServiceSettingsFlow

activestring

Active, if set, contains the registration method that is being used. It is initially not set.

expires_atstring date-time required

ExpiresAt is the time (UTC) when the flow expires. If the user still wishes to update the setting, a new flow has to be initiated.

idstring uuid4 required
issued_atstring date-time required

IssuedAt is the time (UTC) when the flow occurred.

request_urlstring required

RequestURL is the initial URL that was requested from Ory Kratos. It can be used to forward information contained in the URL's path or query for example.

state'show_form' | 'success' required

show_form: No user data has been collected, or it is invalid, and thus the form should be shown. success: Indicates that the settings flow has been updated successfully with the provided data. Done will stay true when repeatedly checking. If set to true, done will revert back to false only when a flow with invalid (e.g. "please use a valid phone number") data was sent.

typestring

The flow type can either be api or browser.
