request_idstring required

Globally unique UUID that is returned with every API call. This value is important to log for debugging purposes; we may ask for this value to help identify a specific API call when helping you debug an issue.

intermediate_session_tokenstring required

The Intermediate Session Token. This token does not necessarily belong to a specific instance of a Member, but represents a bag of factors that may be converted to a member session. The token can be used with the OTP SMS Authenticate endpoint, TOTP Authenticate endpoint, or Recovery Codes Recover endpoint to complete an MFA flow and log in to the Organization. The token has a default expiry of 10 minutes. It can also be used with the Exchange Intermediate Session endpoint to join a specific Organization that allows the factors represented by the intermediate session token; or the Create Organization via Discovery endpoint to create a new Organization and Member. Intermediate Session Tokens have a default expiry of 10 minutes.

email_addressstring required

The email address.

status_codeinteger required

The HTTP status code of the response. Stytch follows standard HTTP response status code patterns, e.g. 2XX values equate to success, 3XX values are redirects, 4XX are client errors, and 5XX are server errors.
