POST /login

POST /login signs a user into the LightShip web UI and starts a browser session. The response sets a session cookie; the caller then sends that cookie on every subsequent request. Automation clients typically use API keys with Authorization: Bearer instead.

Endpoint

POST http://localhost:8080/login

Request body

string

required

The LightShip username.

string

required

The user’s password.

Example

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -c cookies.txt \
  -d '{"username": "alice", "password": "..."}'

If the user’s must_change_password flag is true, only GET /me, POST /me/password, and POST /logout are available until the password is changed.
