NekoHub supports two authentication methods:
- JWT login for the browser admin console and user-backed API calls
- API key for scripts, automation, CI/CD, and MCP
JWT login
The browser admin console signs in with a username and password. The API returns an access token plus a refresh token.
Log in
curl -X POST http://localhost:5121/api/v1/auth/login \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"username": "admin", "password": "your-password"}'
Real responses are wrapped in data:
{
"data": {
"accessToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
"refreshToken": "refresh-token-value",
"accessTokenExpiresAtUtc": "2026-04-08T12:15:00Z",
"refreshTokenExpiresAtUtc": "2026-05-08T12:00:00Z",
"user": {
"id": "01956f8d-0000-0000-0000-000000000001",
"username": "admin",
"role": "superAdmin",
"isActive": true,
"permissions": []
}
}
}
Use the access token
curl http://localhost:5121/api/v1/assets \
-H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs..."
Refresh the access token
curl -X POST http://localhost:5121/api/v1/auth/refresh \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"refreshToken": "refresh-token-value"}'
Token lifetime
| Token | Default lifetime | Controlled by |
|---|
| Access token | 15 minutes | Auth__Jwt__AccessTokenMinutes |
| Refresh token | 30 days | Auth__Jwt__RefreshTokenDays |
The backend signs and validates these tokens. The frontend only stores them and refreshes them when needed.
API key
API keys are for non-interactive clients. They are configured through environment variables and sent as Bearer credentials:
curl http://localhost:5121/api/v1/assets \
-H "Authorization: Bearer your-strong-random-api-key"
For MCP:
curl http://localhost:5121/mcp \
-H "Authorization: Bearer your-strong-random-api-key"
