JWT

Decode a JWT (no signature check)

POSThttps://ecdsa.com/api/v1/jwt/decode

Decodes a compact JWS token: header, payload, enriched exp/iat/nbf time claims and a classification of the algorithm. The signature is NOT verified — the response carries verified: false explicitly. Use /v1/jwt/verify to check ES* signatures.

Códigos de erro

Código	Status	Significado
invalid_json	400	The body is not valid JSON or not a JSON object; or the input nests arrays and objects more than 64 levels deep (JSON documents inside string fields count too), or is too complex to inspect for private keys.
missing_field	400	A required field is absent or empty.
invalid_input	400	A field could not be parsed — the message explains exactly why.
private_key_rejected	400	The request contains private-key material (a PEM PRIVATE KEY block, an OpenSSH, SSH2 or PuTTY private key, or a JWK with "d"). Never send private keys anywhere.
unauthorized	401	The Authorization or X-API-Key header is malformed, the API key is not valid (wrong checksum, unknown, revoked or expired), or the operation needs a key.
forbidden_scope	403	The API key is valid but lacks a scope this operation requires; the message names it.
not_found	404	No operation exists at this path.
method_not_allowed	405	The path exists but does not accept this HTTP method; see the Allow header.
payload_too_large	413	The body exceeds 100 KB.
rate_limited	429	Too many requests — see Retry-After.
quota_exceeded	429	A daily or monthly quota of the API key's account is used up. X-Quota-Reset (and Retry-After) say when it starts over; retrying earlier cannot succeed.
internal_error	500	Unexpected server error.
service_unavailable	503	API keys cannot be verified right now (the key store is unreachable); retry shortly.
timeout	504	The operation did not finish within its time budget.

The error envelope of every non-2xx response.
