apiusersversion1

apiusersversion1 is the first publicly released iteration of the API Users service, a RESTful interface designed to manage user identity and profile data within distributed applications. It exposes a set of endpoints that allow clients to perform standard CRUD operations on user records, retrieve authentication tokens, and obtain authorization information. The service is versioned using semantic versioning; apiusersversion1 indicates that this release may contain breaking changes compared to any future releases and should be used with care in production environments.

The core data model exposes a user resource with fields such as id, username, email, created_at, updated_at, and roles. Relationships to other resources—such as groups and permissions—are represented through nested JSON structures or hypermedia links. Endpoints include GET /users, POST /users, GET /users/{id}, PATCH /users/{id}, and DELETE /users/{id}. Additional endpoints support authentication flows like POST /auth/token and GET /auth/refresh. Request and response bodies use JSON by default, and the API supports pagination, filtering, and sorting through query parameters.

Security is enforced via OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens. All endpoints require a valid access token, except for public registration endpoints where self-signup is permitted. Rate limiting is applied at the IP address level to mitigate abuse.

apiusersversion1 is maintained by the platform engineering team. Documentation is available through an auto-generated OpenAPI specification, which includes example requests and responses. Users are encouraged to upgrade to apiusersversion2 for additional features such as multi-factor authentication and fine-grained role hierarchies.
