When someone uses + the token to authenticate themselves, the pending counter is incremented + so that the token is not used more than the permitted number of times. + When the person completes registration the pending counter is decremented, + and the completed counter is incremented. +- `completed`: The number of times the token has been used to successfully + complete a registration. +- `expiry_time`: The latest time the token is valid. Given as the number of + milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the start of the Unix epoch). + To convert this into a human-readable form you can remove the milliseconds + and use the `date` command. For example, `date -d '@1625394937'`. + + +## List all tokens + +Lists all tokens and details about them. If the request is successful, the top +level JSON object will have a `registration_tokens` key which is an array of +registration token objects. + +``` +GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens +``` + +Optional query parameters: +- `valid`: `true` or `false`. If `true`, only valid tokens are returned. + If `false`, only tokens that have expired or have had all uses exhausted are + returned. If omitted, all tokens are returned regardless of validity. + +Example: + +``` +GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens +``` +``` +200 OK + +{ + "registration_tokens": [ + { + "token": "abcd", + "uses_allowed": 3, + "pending": 0, + "completed": 1, + "expiry_time": null + }, + { + "token": "pqrs", + "uses_allowed": 2, + "pending": 1, + "completed": 1, + "expiry_time": null + }, + { + "token": "wxyz", + "uses_allowed": null, + "pending": 0, + "completed": 9, + "expiry_time": 1625394937000 // 2021-07-04 10:35:37 UTC + } + ] +} +``` + +Example using the `valid` query parameter: + +``` +GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens?valid=false +``` +``` +200 OK + +{ + "registration_tokens": [ + { + "token": "pqrs", + "uses_allowed": 2, + "pending": 1, + "completed": 1, + "expiry_time": null + }, + { + "token": "wxyz", + "uses_allowed": null, + "pending": 0, + "completed": 9, + "expiry_time": 1625394937000 // 2021-07-04 10:35:37 UTC + } + ] +} +``` + + +## Get one token + +Get details about a single token.

If the request is successful, the newly created +token will be returned as a registration token object in the response body. + +``` +POST /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/new +``` + +The request body must be a JSON object and can contain the following fields: +- `token`: The registration token. A string of no more than 64 characters that + consists only of characters matched by the regex `[A-Za-z0-9-_]`. + Default: randomly generated. +- `uses_allowed`: The integer number of times the token can be used to complete + a registration before it becomes invalid. + Default: `null` (unlimited uses). +- `expiry_time`: The latest time the token is valid. Given as the number of + milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the start of the Unix epoch). + You could use, for example, `date '+%s000' -d 'tomorrow'`. + Default: `null` (token does not expire). +- `length`: The length of the token randomly generated if `token` is not + specified.
