Account API Overview

The Nomad Media Account API provides an interface to interact with Amazon Cognito user pools to manage and validate user information. Cognito supports several secure authentication standards including OAuth 2.0, SAML 2.0, and OpenID Connect.

The Account system is designed to perform application-level user credential authentication and management. Nomad Media employs a minimal user record consisting of the user's email as the username and a password.

Common Account Operations

Account endpoints are used to perform the following operations:

• Register a new user account.
• Verify the user's email address by sending a validation email and confirming the response.
• Login — validate user credentials and set the refresh interval for their session.
• Forgot password — reset a user's password through email-based identity validation.
• Update an authenticated user's email or password.
