/api/auth/refresh (dashboard)
Source-derived dashboard endpoint contract, authentication, request validation, responses, and errors.
This is the dashboard service route. Its origin and authentication are described in Platform API overview and Authentication. A path shared by another service is a different endpoint.
| Property | Contract |
|---|---|
| Methods | POST |
| Path | /api/auth/refresh |
| Path parameters | None |
| Query parameters read in route | None read directly; schema validation below may define additional fields |
| Headers read in route | No additional direct header reads; authentication helpers may read credentials |
Authentication and access
OAuth browser flow using HTTP-only l1fe_* cookies. Exchange/refresh/logout have endpoint-specific inputs and rate limits.
Method behavior
The handler excerpt preserves field validation, response envelopes, cookie changes, and exception branches. Values returned by service helpers retain their named response type above; for passthrough routes, the upstream response is authoritative.
POST
export async function POST(request: NextRequest): Promise<NextResponse> {
// Rate limit: 20 refresh attempts per minute per IP
const clientIp = getClientIp(request);
if (!checkRateLimit(clientIp, 'refresh')) {
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: 'rate_limited', error_description: 'Too many requests. Please try again later.' },
{ status: 429 }
);
}
const cookieStore = await cookies();
const refreshToken = cookieStore.get('l1fe_refresh_token')?.value;
if (!refreshToken) {
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: 'no_refresh_token', error_description: 'No refresh token available' },
{ status: 401 }
);
}
const tokenUrl = `${SSO_URL}/v4/oauth/token`;
const params: Record<string, string> = {
grant_type: 'refresh_token',
client_id: CLIENT_ID,
refresh_token: refreshToken,
};
if (CLIENT_SECRET) {
params.client_secret = CLIENT_SECRET;
}
try {
const tokenResponse = await fetch(tokenUrl, {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
body: new URLSearchParams(params),
});
if (!tokenResponse.ok) {
const errorData = await tokenResponse.json().catch(() => ({}));
console.error('Token refresh failed:', errorData);
// Clear invalid cookies
const response = NextResponse.json(
{
error: (errorData as Record<string, string>).error || 'refresh_failed',
error_description:
(errorData as Record<string, string>).error_description ||
'Token refresh failed',
},
{ status: tokenResponse.status }
);
response.cookies.delete('l1fe_access_token');
response.cookies.delete('l1fe_refresh_token');
response.cookies.delete('l1fe_id_token');
return response;
}
const tokens = await tokenResponse.json();
const response = NextResponse.json({ refreshed: true });
setAuthTokenCookies(response, tokens, process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production');
return response;
} catch (err) {
console.error('Token refresh error:', err);
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: 'internal_error', error_description: 'Failed to refresh token' },
{ status: 500 }
);
