API ReferenceContact details

Send the email OTP

POST
/v1/user/settings/emails/{id}/otp/send

Sends or resends the verification OTP for a pending email. A user token calls this on behalf of the signed-in user. The returned otp tells the step that the OTP confirms and where it went. Returns 404 when the contact does not exist. Returns 409 when a change to another primary email is in progress. Confirm the OTP next.

AuthorizationBearer <token>

Create a client with POST /v1/oauth/clients, then exchange its credentials for an access token. AUTHORIZATION_CODE clients act on behalf of a signed-in user and always use PKCE; CLIENT_CREDENTIALS clients act as themselves. A client may only be granted scopes its creator already holds — read the grantable list from GET /v1/oauth/clients/scopes.
