+# Registration Tokens
+
+This API allows you to manage tokens which can be used to authenticate
+registration requests, as proposed in [MSC3231](https://github.com/govynnus/matrix-doc/blob/token-registration/proposals/3231-token-authenticated-registration.md).
+To use it, you will need to enable the `registration_requires_token` config
+option, and authenticate by providing an `access_token` for a server admin:
+see [Admin API](../../usage/administration/admin_api).
+Note that this API is still experimental; not all clients may support it yet.
+
+
+## Registration token objects
+
+Most endpoints make use of JSON objects that contain details about tokens.
+These objects have the following fields:
+- `token`: The token which can be used to authenticate registration.
+- `uses_allowed`: The number of times the token can be used to complete a
+  registration before it becomes invalid.
+- `pending`: The number of pending uses the token has. When someone uses
+  the token to authenticate themselves, the pending counter is incremented
+  so that the token is not used more than the permitted number of times.
+  When the person completes registration the pending counter is decremented,
+  and the completed counter is incremented.
+- `completed`: The number of times the token has been used to successfully
+  complete a registration.
+- `expiry_time`: The latest time the token is valid. Given as the number of
+  milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the start of the Unix epoch).
+  To convert this into a human-readable form you can remove the milliseconds
+  and use the `date` command. For example, `date -d '@1625394937'`.
+
+
+## List all tokens
+
+Lists all tokens and details about them. If the request is successful, the top
+level JSON object will have a `registration_tokens` key which is an array of
+registration token objects.
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens
+```
+
+Optional query parameters:
+- `valid`: `true` or `false`. If `true`, only valid tokens are returned.
+  If `false`, only tokens that have expired or have had all uses exhausted are
+  returned. If omitted, all tokens are returned regardless of validity.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "registration_tokens": [
+        {

+            "pending": 0,
+            "completed": 1,

+            "pending": 1,
+            "completed": 1,
+            "expiry_time": null
+        },
+        {
+            "token": "wxyz",

+        }
+    ]

+{
+    "registration_tokens": [

+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+
+## Get one token
+
+Get details about a single token. If the request is successful, the response
+body will be a registration token object.
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/<token>
+```
+
+Path parameters:
+- `token`: The registration token to return details of.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/abcd
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "token": "abcd",
+    "uses_allowed": 3,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 1,
+    "expiry_time": null
+}
+```
+
+
+## Create token
+
+Create a new registration token. If the request is successful, the newly created
+token will be returned as a registration token object in the response body.
+
+```
+POST /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/new
+```
+
+The request body must be a JSON object and can contain the following fields:
+- `token`: The registration token. A string of no more than 64 characters that
+  consists only of characters matched by the regex `[A-Za-z0-9-_]`.
+  Default: randomly generated.
+- `uses_allowed`: The integer number of times the token can be used to complete
+  a registration before it becomes invalid.
+  Default: `null` (unlimited uses).
+- `expiry_time`: The latest time the token is valid. Given as the number of
+  milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the start of the Unix epoch).
+  You could use, for example, `date '+%s000' -d 'tomorrow'`.
+  Default: `null` (token does not expire).
+- `length`: The length of the token randomly generated if `token` is not
+  specified. Must be between 1 and 64 inclusive. Default: `16`.
+
+If a field is omitted the default is used.
+
+Example using defaults:
+
+```
+POST /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/new
+
+{}
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "token": "0M-9jbkf2t_Tgiw1",
+    "uses_allowed": null,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 0,
+    "expiry_time": null
+}
+```
+
+Example specifying some fields:
+
+```
+POST /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/new
+
+{
+    "token": "defg",
+    "uses_allowed": 1
+}
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "token": "defg",
+    "uses_allowed": 1,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 0,
+    "expiry_time": null
+}
+```
+
+
+## Update token
+
+Update the number of allowed uses or expiry time of a token. If the request is
+successful, the updated token will be returned as a registration token object
+in the response body.
+
+```
+PUT /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/<token>
+```
+
+Path parameters:
+- `token`: The registration token to update.
+
+The request body must be a JSON object and can contain the following fields:
+- `uses_allowed`: The integer number of times the token can be used to complete
+  a registration before it becomes invalid. By setting `uses_allowed` to `0`
+  the token can be easily made invalid without deleting it.
+  If `null` the token will have an unlimited number of uses.
+- `expiry_time`: The latest time the token is valid. Given as the number of
+  milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the start of the Unix epoch).
+  If `null` the token will not expire.
+
+If a field is omitted its value is not modified.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+PUT /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/defg
+
+{
+    "expiry_time": 4781243146000    // 2121-07-06 11:05:46 UTC
+}
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "token": "defg",
+    "uses_allowed": 1,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 0,
+    "expiry_time": 4781243146000
+}
+```
+
+
+## Delete token
+
+Delete a registration token. If the request is successful, the response body
+will be an empty JSON object.
+
+```
+DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/<token>
+```
+
+Path parameters:
+- `token`: The registration token to delete.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/wxyz
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{}
+```
+
+
+## Errors
+
+If a request fails a "standard error response" will be returned as defined in
+the [Matrix Client-Server API specification](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#api-standards).
+
+For example, if the token specified in a path parameter does not exist a
+`404 Not Found` error will be returned.
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/1234
+```
+```
+404 Not Found
+
+{
+    "errcode": "M_NOT_FOUND",
+    "error": "No such registration token: 1234"
+}
+```
