Authorization: All API calls require a
hawk Authorization header with
payload signature enabled. Example code can be found in the tools
directory.
Request a signature on raw data. The data to sign is passed in the request body using the JSON format described below.
The request body is an array of signature requests, to allow for batching signatures into a single API request. The parameters are:
- input: base64 encoded data to sign
- keyid: allows the caller to specify a key to sign the data with. This parameter is optional, and Autograph will pick a key based on the caller's permission if omitted.
- options: a JSON object used to pass signer-specific options in the request. Refer to the documentation of each signer to find out which options they accept.
example:
POST /sign/data
Host: autograph.example.net
Content-type: application/json

A successful request return a 201 Created
with a response
body containing signature elements encoded in JSON. The ordering of the
response array is identical to the request array, such that signing
request 0 maps to signing response 0, etc.
Below is an example signing response for a content-signature request:
[
{
"ref": "1p21kj11od4no13o1xepn22mkc",
"type": "contentsignature",
"mode": "p384ecdsa",
"signer_id": "appkey1",

"x5u": "https://foo.example.com/chains/certificates.pem"
}
]
Each signature response contains the following fields:
ref
is a random string that acts as a reference number for logging and tracking.type
is the type of signer that issued the signaturesigner_id
is ID of the signer in configuration.public_key
is the DER encoded public key that maps to the signing key used to generate the signature. This value can be used by clients to verify signatures. The DER format is supported by OpenSSL and most libraries.signature
is the signature encoded in the proper format. Each signer uses a different format, so refer to their documentation for more information.
Request to sign multiple files. The files to sign are passed in the request body using the JSON format described below.
The request body is an array of signature requests, to allow for batching signatures into a single API request. The parameters are:
- keyid: allows the caller to specify a key to sign the data with. This parameter is optional, and Autograph will pick a key based on the caller's permission if omitted.
- options: a JSON object used to pass signer-specific options in the request. Refer to the documentation of each signer to find out which options they accept.
- files: an array of dicts of file name and base64 encoded content to sign. For example:
[
{
"content": "UEsDBBQACAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATAAAAQW5kcm9pZE1hbmlmZXN0LnhtbKSYS2ybx7XHf0PqbVmW4...BwAACigAAAAA",
"name": "sphinx_1.7.2-1.dsc"

"name": "sphinx_1.7.2-1.changes"
}
]
The number of files must be between 1 and 32 inclusive. All characters in a file name must be an alphanumeric character, dash, underscore or dot. The file name must start with an alphanumeric character and dots cannot occur next to each other in the file name.

A successful request returns 201 Created

containing all signed files encoded in JSON. The ordering of the
response array is identical to the request array, such that signing
request 0 maps to signing response 0, etc.
The response format is the same as /sign/data

instead of the signature
field autograph returns the
field:
signed_files
an array of dicts of file name and base64 encoded signed file content as described in the request section. Each signer uses a different format, so refer to their documentation for more information.
Request for a signature on signed files. This can be useful to add hash manifests to files and reduce the number of round trips for file formats requiring multiple signatures. The files to sign are passed in the request body using the JSON format described below.
The request body is an array of signature requests, to allow for batching signatures into a single API request. The parameters are:
- input: a base64 encoded file to sign

A successful request return a 201 Created
with a response
body containing an S/MIME detached signature encoded with Base 64.
This is an endpoint used to fetch certificate chains which are generated and
stored locally. If the signer is configured with an X5U
using the file://
scheme, then the contents of that file location are served under this path.
This path is only intended to simplify local development and testing. Production signers should store their X5U certificate chains with a cloud storage provider such as Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage.
This is a special endpoint designed to monitor the status of all signers
without granting signing privileges to a monitoring client. It requires
a special user named monitor
that can request a signature
of the string AUTOGRAPH MONITORING
by all active signers.
The endpoint accepts a GET request without query parameter or request
body. The Hawk
authorization of the user named
monitor
is required.
GET /__monitor__
Host: autograph.example.net
Content-type: application/json
Authorization: Hawk id="dh37fgj492je", ts="1353832234", nonce="j4h3g2", ext="some-app-ext-data", mac="6R4rV5iE+NPoym+WwjeHzjAGXUtLNIxmo1vpMofpLAE="
One signing response per active signer is returned. The format follows
the standard signing response format described in
/sign/data
.
The monitoring client should verify the signature returned with each response. If X5U values are provided, the monitoring client should verify that certificate chains are hosted at those locations, and that certificate are not too close to their expiration date.
