POST `/employees/validate`

Check an employee’s credentials and location access without creating a session. Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY and X-Device-ID: YOUR_DEVICE_ID. See authentication. Send username and password in the request body. This endpoint validates credentials, not an existing employee token. It returns an employee and message, without a token or expiration time. Use login when you need a session. Non-admin employees must be assigned to the API key’s location. The additional rate limit is 20 requests per minute per IP.

Example request

curl -X POST "https://tapcoupon.at/api/v1/employees/validate" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Device-ID: YOUR_DEVICE_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "username": "Cashier",
  "password": "YOUR_EMPLOYEE_PASSWORD"
}'

Example response

{
  "employee": {
    "id": "693869428d49e641ba110e17",
    "username": "Cashier",
    "isAdmin": false,
    "accessHistory": false,
    "deleteScanHistory": false,
