Admin API (0.1.0)

The Admin API serves as the central point for interacting with Witboost.

Exchange an access token for a short-lived JWT

Exchanges a Witboost access token for a short-lived JWT to authenticate API calls.

Rules:

  • duration_seconds cannot exceed the remaining lifetime of the access token. If it does, the request is rejected.
  • If duration_seconds is not provided, a default duration is used (configured by backend.auth.shortLivedTokendurationSeconds, default: 5 minutes).
  • The scope field accepts a space-separated list of scopes (e.g., for requests going to the WCG service:computational-governance).
