Use this endpoint to complete a recovery flow using the link method. This endpoint behaves differently for API and browser flows and has several states:

choose_method expects flow (in the URL query) and email (in the body) to be sent and works with API- and Browser-initiated flows. For API clients it either returns a HTTP 200 OK when the form is valid and HTTP 400 OK when the form is invalid and a HTTP 302 Found redirect with a fresh recovery flow if the flow was otherwise invalid (e.g. expired). For Browser clients it returns a HTTP 302 Found redirect to the Recovery UI URL with the Recovery Flow ID appended. sent_email is the success state after choose_method and allows the user to request another recovery email. It works for both API and Browser-initiated flows and returns the same responses as the flow in choose_method state. passed_challenge expects a token to be sent in the URL query and given the nature of the flow ("sending a recovery link") does not have any API capabilities. The server responds with a HTTP 302 Found redirect either to the Settings UI URL (if the link was valid) and instructs the user to update their password, or a redirect to the Recover UI URL with a new Recovery Flow ID which contains an error message that the recovery link was invalid.
