Currently every request made to nexus must be authenticated using the HTTP basic auth mechanism.
Other authentication mechanisms (e.g. OpenID Connect) might be supported in the future.
GET {nexusBase}/user¶Get information about the current user (based on the authentication information in this request).
Response:
interface UserResponse {
// User name
username: string;
// Password
password: string;
}
POST {nexusBase}/users/password¶Change password of a user. The username is extracted from the HTTP authentication parameters.
Request:
interface UserChangePassword {
newPassword: string;
}
POST {nexusBase}/users¶Create a new user. Only a superuser can call this API.
Request:
The body is a User object.
Response:
409 Conflict: Username is not available.

interface User {
// User name
username: string;
// Initial password

GET {nexusBase}/users¶Return list of users.
The permissions API manages authorization of access of subjects (usually users) to resources.
Permissions are modeled a set of (subject, resource, permission) triples.
Subjects and resources consist of a type and an identifier.
Superusers are not subject to further permission checks, they are allowed to do any operation.
The following subject types are currently supported:
user: An authenticated user. The subject ID
is interpreted as the user ID.The following permissions are currently defined:
facade.talerWireGateway.history: Allows querying the
transaction history through a Taler wire gateway facade.facade.talerWireGateway.transfer: Allows creating payment initiations
to transfer money via a Taler wire gateway facade.The following resource IDs are currently supported:
facade: A LibEuFin facade. The resource ID is interpreted as the
facade name.GET {nexusbase}/permissions¶List all permissions.
Response
interface QueryPermissionsResponse {
permissions: {
subjectType: string;
subjectId: string;
resourceType: string;
resourceId: string;
permissionName: string
}[];
}
POST {nexusbase}/permissions¶Modify permissions.
Request
interface QueryPermissionsResponse {
action: "grant" | "revoke";

resourceType: string;
resourceId: string;
permissionName: string
};
}
**Response**
The response is an empty JSON object.
POST {nexusbase}/bank-accounts/{acctid}/test-camt-ingestion/{type}¶This call allows tests to directly give Nexus a Camt document. After
the processing, all the payment(s) details should be ingested as if the
Camt came normally from a bank / the Sandbox. acctid must match the
label of a locally imported bank account, and type for now can only be
C53.
