🔒 Protected Endpoints (Authentication Required)

🔍 Click to view all protected endpoints

GET  /api/user/me               # Get current user profile
PUT  /api/user/me               # Update user profile
POST /api/auth/logout           # Logout current session

DELETE /api/user/sessions/:id   # Delete specific session
POST /api/user/change-password  # Change password
GET  /api/user/activity         # Get user activity log

🧪 Test the API

# After starting AuthKit, test the endpoints:

# Register a new user
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/auth/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"[email protected]","password":"password123","name":"Test User"}'

# Login
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"[email protected]","password":"password123"}'

# Get user profile (requires auth token)
curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/api/user/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"

🚨 Troubleshooting

❌ "docker-compose: command not found"

# Install Docker Compose
# Windows/macOS: Docker Desktop includes it
# Linux: 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin

❌ "Port already in use"

# Check what's using the ports
netstat -ano | findstr :3000  # Windows
lsof -i :3000                 # Linux/macOS

# Change ports in docker-compose.yml
ports:
  - "3001:3000"  # Frontend on 3001
  - "5001:3000"  # Backend on 5001

❌ "Database connection failed"

# Check PostgreSQL health
docker-compose ps
docker-compose logs postgres

# Restart database
docker-compose restart postgres

❌ "JWT token invalid"

Check JWT_SECRET in .env (minimum 32 characters)
Restart services: docker-compose restart
Clear browser cookies and try again
