Check a remembered consent

Signed by this browser's device key: whether its card already approved the app for these scopes, so the page signs without a click.

GET/oidc/requests/{id}/grant
Access
Signed request
Client
Local or server client

Parameters#

NameLocationMeaning
idRequiredPathThe request id: 43 characters from the consent page's address (`?req=`) or its meta element.

Send the common signed-request headers, including X-Nonce and X-Timestamp. A signed GET has no JSON body. Request signing

Request examples#

cURL
curl -fsS \
  -H "X-Public-Key: $PUBLIC_KEY" -H "X-Signature: $REQUEST_SIGNATURE" -H "X-Nonce: $NONCE" -H "X-Timestamp: $TIMESTAMP" \
  "https://veil.rip/oidc/requests/{id}/grant"

Response#

HTTP 200application/json

{n, remembered, scopes, since}.

FieldTypeMeaning
nintegerThe card of the signing key.
rememberedbooleanThe consent covers every scope asked, and the app is not on the loopback interface (a native app is asked every time).
scopesarray<string> | nullThe scopes approved before.
sincestring | nullWhen.

Response headers#

HeaderValueMeaning
Content-Typeapplication/jsonJSON, also for errors.
Cache-Controlno-storePrivate: never cached.

Errors#

API errors return an error object. Use error.code for program logic; error.message is English text for people and can change. Response and error guide

HTTPCodeMeaning and next step
403key_mismatch

The signing key does not have authority over this card or operation.

Use an active device key with the required owner or member role.

404not_found

The requested card, key, alias, code or resource was not found.

Check the identifier. Temporary codes and previews may already have expired or been used.

410request_expired

The sign-in request was used or is older than 30 minutes.

Go back to the app and start again.

Shared request errors
HTTPCodeMeaning and next step
400invalid_nonce

The signed-request nonce has an invalid format.

Generate a fresh 16 to 128-character nonce using letters, digits, _ or -.

400invalid_signature_alg

X-Signature-Alg is unsupported.

Use a supported signing algorithm and matching key/signature encoding.

400invalid_timestamp

The signed-request timestamp is not Unix milliseconds.

Use an integer Unix timestamp in milliseconds and sign the corrected request.

401invalid_signature

The HTTP request signature does not verify.

Sign the exact method, path and body bytes, without changing them afterwards.

401missing_signature

The request requires a device signature and its headers are missing or unreadable.

Send X-Public-Key, X-Signature and the signed-request metadata. An API key does not replace a device signature.

401stale_timestamp

The signed timestamp is outside the accepted clock window.

Compare the server Date header with your clock, then generate a fresh nonce, timestamp and signature.

403key_banned

The device signing key is suspended by Veil staff.

Use an authorised active key or ask staff to review the restriction.

409replayed_nonce

The signing key already used this nonce.

Check whether the previous request succeeded before making a fresh signed request.

429rate_limited

An anonymous, signed-request or API-key allowance was exceeded.

Wait at least Retry-After seconds. Share a queue and retry budget across your workers.

500internal_error

An unexpected server error occurred. Internal details are not returned.

Retry reads with bounded backoff. Check write results before sending a new signed operation.

503busy

The application has reached a temporary concurrency or database limit.

Wait Retry-After seconds and retry with bounded backoff.
