API

The API endpoints require authentication to access. The service uses the regtech-api-commons library to utilize OAuth2 authentication, currently using Keycloak. To use either endpoint, you must first get an access token from Keycloak. The Contact Name and Email, derived from the Access Token, will be put into the body of the email.

To get an access token, run the following curl command, using the Keycloak user you wish to test with (see LOCAL_DEV_COMPOSE for launching Keycloak):

export RT_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(curl 'localhost:8880/realms/regtech/protocol/openid-connect/token' \
-X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'username=<user>' \
--data-urlencode 'password=<pass>' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=password' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=regtech-client' | jq -r '.access_token')

GET /

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${RT_ACCESS_TOKEN}" http://localhost:8765
{"message":"Welcome to the Email API"}

POST /send

curl -vs -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${RT_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
-H "X-Mail-Subject: Institution Profile Change" \
-F lei=1234567890ABCDEFGHIJ \
-F "institution_name_1=Fintech 1" \
-F tin_1=12-3456789 \

Mailpit

The developer setup uses Mailpit as a mock SMTP server. The Mail API is pre-configured to point at Mailpit's SMTP port. Mailpit also includes a web interface for viewing email messages.

Mailpit has been included in the SBL Project docker-compose. See the SBL Project LOCAL_DEV_COMPOSE.
