Create Email Verification

Endpoint

posthttps://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1/account/verification

Description

Use this endpoint to send a verification message to your user email address to confirm they are the valid owners of that address. Both the userId and secret arguments will be passed as query parameters to the URL you have provided to be attached to the verification email. The provided URL should redirect the user back to your app and allow you to complete the verification process by verifying both the userId and secret parameters. Learn more about how to complete the verification process. The verification link sent to the user's email address is valid for 7 days.

Please note that in order to avoid a Redirect Attack, the only valid redirect URLs are the ones from domains you have set when adding your platforms in the console interface.

Required scopes

account

Authentication

Initialize the Appwrite client with setProject() and a signed-in user (setSession() or setJWT()). For direct REST calls, send X-Appwrite-Project with session/JWT headers.

Rate limit

Up to 10 requests per hour for each user calling this endpoint.
Server API key requests bypass this rate limit.

Parameters

string
Required

URL to redirect the user back to your app from the verification email. Only URLs from hostnames in your project platform list are allowed. This requirement helps to prevent an open redirect attack against your project API.
