# Public Endpoints

Open endpoints do not require the Authentication Token. However, they can be used to get the Authentication Token required by other methods.

## Login

Each endpoint is related to the login process, including the two factor authentication and the final goal is to get the authorization token and use that in the routes that require Authentication. The token never expires, unless you logout.

### Login/Get Access Token
Login in using your username and password in plain-text. Remember, if the `device-id` is trusted by your account, it will work. Otherwise, you will have to follow the 2-factor auth. process.

`POST` `/oauth/access_token`

#### Request

_Header_

| Key | Example Value | Required | Description |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------- | -------- | ----------------------- |
| device-id | `88884260-05O3-8U81-58I1-2WA76F357GR9` | True | Mobile Unique Device Id |
| Content-Type | application/json | True | Identifying the body |
| Host | api.venmo.com | False | |

_Body_

```json
{
"phone_email_or_username": "[email protected]",
"client_id": "1",
"password": "password123456"
}
```

#### Response

`Status: 400 Bad Request`

`Status: 401 Unauthorized`

This means username and password was correct, but additional verification is required since the device-id is unknown for your account. You will need to do two additional steps for logging in with 2-factor. 1. Request for the text message to be sent to your phone. 2. Send the `code` you received on your phone to the Venmo and the `venmo-otp-secret` using this route.
