Overview

Initiates the device authorization flow for CLI tools and AI agents that cannot open a browser directly. Returns a user code that must be entered at the verification URL to authorize the device. Flow:

Agent calls this endpoint to get a device_code and user_code
User opens verification_url in their browser and enters the user_code
Agent polls Poll Device Token with the device_code
Once authorized, the poll returns an API key

No authentication required.

Body Parameters

string

Human-readable code in XXXX-XXXX format for the user to enter

string

integer

Seconds until the device code expires (600 = 10 minutes)

integer

Minimum seconds between poll requests (5)
