jims-api 0.5.6

universal API for JIMS application

jims-api

jims-api exposes any JIMS application as a FastAPI HTTP service.

Run

jims-api --app my_project.app:app --port 8080

Environment variables:

• JIMS_APP - JIMS app import path (module:attr)
• JIMS_PORT - HTTP port
• JIMS_HOST - HTTP host
• JIMS_API_KEY - optional static bearer token for auth
• JIMS_AUTHENTIK_URL - Authentik instance base URL (e.g. https://authentik.epoch8.dev)
• JIMS_AUTHENTIK_APP_SLUG - Authentik application slug to check access against

Authentication

Auth is checked in the following order:

1. If JIMS_API_KEY is set and the provided bearer token matches — allow
2. If JIMS_AUTHENTIK_URL and JIMS_AUTHENTIK_APP_SLUG are set — validate the bearer token against Authentik's /api/v3/core/applications/{slug}/check_access/ endpoint. If 200 — allow
3. If no auth is configured (neither static key nor Authentik) — open access
4. Otherwise — 401 Unauthorized

Send the token as Authorization: Bearer <token>.
