# Start a device link

> Unauthenticated bootstrap. The CLI keeps a verifier locally and sends only its SHA-256 hash. The response carries an opaque public request id and a browser approval URL — never a bearer credential. Link requests live 10 minutes.

The device name, client version, OS family, and architecture are sanitized server-side before storage.

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Myrqen API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The JSON API served by `apps/web` under `/api/v1`. Derived from the route
    handlers in `apps/web/app/api/v1` and the shared types in
    `packages/contracts`.


    This reference documents the surface a developer and the Myrqen CLI actually
    use. Platform-administration and billing endpoints exist in the application
    but are operator-only and are deliberately not published here.


    The hosted service at `https://api.myrqen.cc` is not deployed yet. Run your
    own deployment and use its origin.
