POST /api/users/completeSignup

Registers the user, so that the user can log in and perform authenticated actions.

Before: The user clicks the signup code in the notification email, and then puts in the password. Those actions serve to validate the user input; processing of the new user registration can now be completed by means of the completeSignup operation.

After: When this operation is complete, the user is logged in and can begin using the Akana API Platform.

This operation can be used in two ways:

  • The operation sends a signup code from a signup email.
  • The operation sends no signup code (signupCode=). In this case, the currently authenticated third-party user (for example, a Google or Facebook user) will be used to complete the authentication process.

After a successful call, any subsequent attempt to sign up using the same email address results in an error.

Authorization Roles/Permissions: Anyone can use this operation; login is not required. This is because the operation is used in the signup process.
