GET /api/User

GET /api/CompanyProfile
PUT /api/CompanyProfile
PUT /api/CompanyLogo
DELETE /api/CompanyLogo
GET /api/IsEmployee

`GET /api/User`

Validate user credentials and return the user profile.

Item	Value
Method	`GET`
Path	`/api/User`
Auth	App bearer token
Response	`UserProfile` JSON, `null`, or a `302` response with `ServerURL`

Query parameters

Parameter	Required	Notes
`emailID`	Yes	User email address
`password`	Yes	SHA-1 hex digest of the password

Response behavior to know

Valid credentials return a UserProfile.
Invalid credentials often return HTTP 200 with a null body.
Some lockout or validation paths return 400.
If the email belongs to a redirected server, the endpoint returns 302 and a body with ServerURL.

Example

import hashlib
import requests

email = "user@example.com"
password_hash = hashlib.sha1("YourPlainTextPassword".encode("utf-8")).hexdigest()

resp = requests.get(
    f"{server}/api/User",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {app_token}"},
    params={"emailID": email, "password": password_hash},
)
print(resp.status_code)
print(resp.text)

with open("logo.png", "rb") as f:
    body = json.dumps(base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode("ascii"))
