How to use it

Registering a new user

To register a new user send a POST request to the root path of your application with the value user containing some kind of identification of your user, like an e-mail or user_id. The application will return a JSON in the following format:

{
    "user_id": "marcelotheodoro@outlook.com",
    "qr_code": "",
    "qr_code_url": ""
}

user_id: The user id you have registred your user
qr_code: The code used to create the QRcode image
qr_code_url: The QRcode image that your user must read in his TOTP app to generate the Time Based One Time Password

The application will return an HTTP Conflict error in case the user is already registered.

Verifying the code of a registered user.

Once the user is registered, you can send a GET request passing in the params user and code

user is the user identification you registered your user
code is the code generated by the TOTP application of your user
