Taler Core Bank API
====================

Introduction
------------
The Libeufin bank provides a minimal core banking system. In addition to that,
it provides features for local/regional currencies.
Authentication
--------------
Some endpoints requires the client to authenticate using a bearer token. Tokens can be obtained or refreshed using the ``/accounts/$USERNAME/token`` endpoint.
This endpoint support authentication via HTTP Basic auth (RFC 7617). When using Basic authentication, the user-id must be the bank's username, and the password the password of the corresponding user.
The user ``admin`` is a special, hard-coded username. Some requests require the client to authenticate as administrator.
.. warning::
Basic authentication for endpoints other than ``/accounts/$USERNAME/token`` has been deprecated and will no longer be supported in the next release.
.. http:post:: /accounts/$USERNAME/token
Create an authentification token.
**Request:**
.. ts:def:: TokenRequest
interface TokenRequest {
// Scope for the token.
scope: "readonly" | "readwrite" | "revenue";
// Custom token validity duration
duration?: RelativeTime;
// Is the token refreshable into a new token during its
// validity?
// Refreshable tokens effectively provide indefinite
// access if they are refreshed in time.
refreshable?: boolean;
// Optional token description
// @since **v4**
description?: string;
}
**Response:**
:http:statuscode:`200 Ok`:
The response is a `TokenSuccessResponse`
**Details:**
.. ts:def:: TokenSuccessResponse
interface TokenSuccessResponse {
// Expiration determined by the server.
// Can be based on the token_duration
// from the request, but ultimately the
// server decides the expiration.
expiration: Timestamp;
// Opque access token.
access_token: string;
}
.. http:delete:: /accounts/$USERNAME/token
Invalidate the access token that is being used to make the request.
**Authentication:** The client must authenticate with a valid access token.
.. http:get:: /accounts/$USERNAME/tokens
Retrieve a subset of tokens related to $USERNAME.
@since **v4**
**Request:**
:query delta: *Optional.*
Takes value of the form ``N (-N)``, so that at most ``N`` values strictly older (younger) than ``start`` are returned. Defaults to ``-20`` to return the last 20 entries.
:query start: *Optional.*
Row number threshold, see ``delta`` for its interpretation. Defaults to smallest or biggest row id possible according to ``delta`` sign.

// Is the token refreshable into a new token during its
// validity?
// Refreshable tokens effectively provide indefinite
// access if they are refreshed in time.
refreshable: boolean;

Cashouts
--------
.. _account-cashout:
.. http:post:: /accounts/$USERNAME/cashouts
Initiates a conversion to fiat currency. The fiat
bank account to be
credited is the one specified at registration time via the
*cashout_payto_uri* parameter. The regional bank account
is specified via ``$USERNAME``.
.. note::
Consult the `cashout rates call `_ to learn
about any applicable fee or exchange rate.
**Request:**
.. ts:def:: CashoutRequest
interface CashoutRequest {
// Nonce to make the request idempotent. Requests with the same
// ``request_uid`` that differ in any of the other fields
// are rejected.
request_uid: ShortHashCode;
// Optional subject to associate to the
// cashout operation. This data will appear
// as the incoming wire transfer subject in
// the user's fiat bank account.
subject?: string;
// That is the plain amount that the user specified
// to cashout. Its $currency is the (regional) currency of the
// bank instance.
amount_debit: Amount;
// That is the amount that will effectively be
// transferred by the bank to the user's fiat bank
// account.
// It is expressed in the fiat currency and
// is calculated after the cashout fee and the
// exchange rate. See the /cashout-rate call.
// The client needs to calculate this amount
// correctly based on the amount_debit and the cashout rate,
// otherwise the request will fail.
amount_credit: Amount;
