Authentication & Storage

Auth and Storage endpoints are proxied through the control plane to each project’s GoTrue (authentication) and Storage (file management) services. Substitute <PLATFORM_URL> with your Studio app’s base URL (e.g. http://localhost:3001 in dev) and {ref} with your project ref. These endpoints use a different auth scheme than the /api/* AI surface: a signed-in user’s platform JWT, not the project’s Service Role key from the Connect modal.

Common Patterns

For authentication, list users with GET /api/platform/auth/{ref}/users and create them with POST. For storage, list buckets and upload files under /api/platform/storage/{ref}/*. A platform JWT (signed-in user’s access token) is required; service-role bypasses are not available through the proxy. For client-side GoTrue and Storage calls that talk directly to your project (not through this proxy), use the Anon (Publishable) Key from the Connect modal with RLS and Storage policies.

Authentication (via Control Plane)

GET /api/platform/auth//users

List project auth users. Full URL: GET <PLATFORM_URL>/api/platform/auth/{ref}/users

import requests

PLATFORM_URL = "http://localhost:3001"  # your Studio app base
REF = "your-project-ref"

response = requests.get(
    f"{PLATFORM_URL}/api/platform/auth/{REF}/users",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PLATFORM_JWT"},
)

const PLATFORM_URL = "http://localhost:3001";  // your Studio app base
const ref = "your-project-ref";
const res = await fetch(
  `${PLATFORM_URL}/api/platform/auth/${ref}/users`,
  { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${platformJwt}` } },
);

curl '<PLATFORM_URL>/api/platform/auth/{ref}/users' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PLATFORM_JWT"

POST /api/platform/auth//users

Create an auth user. Full URL: POST <PLATFORM_URL>/api/platform/auth/{ref}/users

requests.post(
    f"{PLATFORM_URL}/api/platform/auth/{REF}/users",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PLATFORM_JWT", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json={"email": "user@example.com", "password": "securepass"},
)

await fetch(
  `${PLATFORM_URL}/api/platform/auth/${ref}/users`,
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${platformJwt}`, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify({ email: "user@example.com", password: "securepass" }),
  },
);

curl -X POST '<PLATFORM_URL>/api/platform/auth/{ref}/users' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PLATFORM_JWT" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "user@example.com", "password": "securepass"}'

Storage (via Control Plane)

GET /api/platform/storage//buckets

List storage buckets. Full URL: GET <PLATFORM_URL>/api/platform/storage/{ref}/buckets

response = requests.get(
    f"{PLATFORM_URL}/api/platform/storage/{REF}/buckets",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PLATFORM_JWT"},
)

const res = await fetch(
  `${PLATFORM_URL}/api/platform/storage/${ref}/buckets`,
  { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${platformJwt}` } },
);

curl '<PLATFORM_URL>/api/platform/storage/{ref}/buckets' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PLATFORM_JWT"

POST /api/platform/storage//object//

Upload a file. Full URL: POST <PLATFORM_URL>/api/platform/storage/{ref}/object/{bucket}/{path}

with open("file.txt", "rb") as f:
    requests.post(
        f"{PLATFORM_URL}/api/platform/storage/{REF}/object/mybucket/file.txt",
        headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PLATFORM_JWT"},
        files={"file": f},
    )

const form = new FormData();
form.append("file", blob);
await fetch(
  `${PLATFORM_URL}/api/platform/storage/${ref}/object/mybucket/file.txt`,
  { method: "POST", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${platformJwt}` }, body: form },
);

curl -X POST '<PLATFORM_URL>/api/platform/storage/{ref}/object/mybucket/file.txt' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PLATFORM_JWT" -F "file=@file.txt"
