Data Bunker API

Data Bunker is an information tokenization and storage service build to comply with GDPR and CCPA privacy requirements.


User Api

User API is used to store, change and retrieve user personal information out of Databunker.

Resource / HTTP method POST (create) GET (read) PUT (update) DELETE (delete)
/v1/user Create new user Error Error Error
/v1/user/token/{token} Error Get user Update user Delete user PII
/v1/user/login/{login} Error Get user Update user Delete user PII
/v1/user/email/{email} Error Get user Update user Delete user PII
/v1/user/phone/{phone} Error Get user Update user Delete user PII

Create user record

POST /v1/user

Explanation

This API is used to create new user record and if the request is successful it returns new user {token}. On the database level, each records is encrypted with it's own key.

POST Body Format

POST Body can contain regular form data or JSON. Data Bunker extracts {login}, {phone} and {email} out of POST data or from JSON root level and builds additional hashed indexes for user record.

The {login}, {phone}, {email} values must be unique, otherwise you will get a duplicate user record error. So, for example, you can not create two user records with the same email address.

The following content type supported:

  • application/json
  • application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Example:

Create user by posting data in JSON format:

curl -s http://localhost:3000/v1/user -XPOST \
  -H "X-Bunker-Token: $XTOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"firstName": "John","lastName":"Doe","email":"user@gmail.com"}'
{"status":"ok","token":"db80789b-0ad7-0690-035a-fd2c42531e87"}

Create user record by posting key/value fiels as POST parameters:

curl -s http://localhost:3000/v1/user -XPOST \
  -H "X-Bunker-Token: $XTOKEN" \
  -d 'firstName=John' \
  -d 'lastName=Doe' \
  -d 'email=user2@gmail.com'
{"status":"ok","token":"db80789b-0ad7-0690-035a-fd2c42531e87"}

NOTE: Keep this user {token} privately as it is an additional user identifier. For work with semi-trusted environments or 3rd party companies, use shareable identity that is time bounded instead.


Get user record

GET /v1/user/{token,login,email,phone}/{address}

Explanation

This API is used to get user record stored in Databunker. You can lookup user record by token, email, phone or login values.

Example:

Fetch user record by token value:

curl --header "X-Bunker-Token: $XTOKEN" -XGET \
   https://localhost:3000/v1/user/token/DAD2474A-E9A7-4BA7-BFC2-C4506880198E
{"status":"ok","token":"DAD2474A-E9A7-4BA7-BFC2-C4506880198E",
"data":{"fname":"paranoid","lname":"guy","login":"user1123"}}

Fetch user record by login name:

curl --header "X-Bunker-Token: $XTOKEN" -XGET \
   https://localhost:3000/v1/user/login/user1123
{"status":"ok","token":"DAD2474A-E9A7-4BA7-BFC2-C4506880198E",
"data":{"fname":"paranoid","lname":"guy","login":"user1123"}}

Update user record

PUT /v1/user/{token,login,email,phone}/{address}

Explanation

This API is used to update user record. User record can be identified by token, email, phone or login. On success, this API call returns success status or error message on error.

POST Body Format

POST Body can contain regular form POST data or JSON. When using JSON, you can remove the record from user profile by setting it's value to null. For example {"key-to-delete":null}.

Example:

The following command will change user name to "Alex". An Audit event will be generated showing previous and new value.

curl --header "X-Bunker-Token: $XTOKEN" -d 'name=Alex' -XPUT \
   https://localhost:3000/v1/user/token/DAD2474A-E9A7-4BA7-BFC2-C4506880198E
{"status":"ok","token":"DAD2474A-E9A7-4BA7-BFC2-C4506880198E"}

Delete user by record

DELETE /v1/user/{token,login,email,phone}/{address}

This command will remove all user records from the database, leaving only user token for refference. This API is used to fullfull the customer' right to forget.

In Databunker enterprise version, user record deletion can be delayed as defined by the company policy.

Example:

curl -header "X-Bunker-Token: $XTOKEN" -XDELETE \
  https://localhost:3000/v1/user/token/DAD2474A-E9A7-4BA7-BFC2-C4506880198E
{"status":"ok","result":"done"}

User App Api

This API is used when you want to store additional information about the user and do not want to mix is with profile data. For example shipping information.

Resource / HTTP method POST (create) GET (read) PUT (update) DELETE
/v1/userapp/token/{token}/{appname} New user app record Get record Change record Delete
/v1/userapp/token/{token} Error Get user app list Error Error
/v1/userapps Error Get all app list Error Error

Create user app record

POST /v1/userapp/token/{token}/{appname}

Explanation

This API is used to create new user app record and if the request is successful it returns {"status":"ok"}.


User Session Api

You can use Session API to store and manage user sessions. For example sessions for Web and Mobile applications. You can use session token generated in your application logs instead of clear text user IP, cookies, etc... This information is is considered now as PII.

Sesion generation API is flexible and you can push any data you wish to save in session record. It can be: user ip, mobile device info, user agent, etc...

Each session record has an expiration period. When the record it is expired, it is automatically deleted.

Resource / HTTP method POST (create) GET (read) PUT (update) DELETE (delete)
/v1/session/phone/{phone} Create new session Get sessions Error Error
/v1/session/email/{email} Create new session Get sessions Error Error
/v1/session/token/{token} Create new session Get sessions Error Error
/v1/session/session/:session Error Get session Error Error

Create user session record

POST /v1/session/{token,login,email,phone}/{address}

Explanation

This API is used to create new user session and if the request is successful it returns new {session} token.

You can send the data as JSON POST or as regular POST parameters.

Additional parameter is expiration specifies TTL for this session record.

Example:

curl -s http://localhost:3000/v1/session/email/test@paranoidguy.com -XPOST \
   -H "X-Bunker-Token: "$DATABUNKER_APIKEY -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{"expiration":"3d","clientip":"1.1.1.1","x-forwarded-for":"2.2.2.2"}'`
{"status":"ok","session":"7a77ffad-2010-4e47-abbe-bcd04509f784"}

Get user session record

One of the GDPR requirements is the storage of user consent. For example, your customer must approve to receive email marketing information. Data bunker provides an API for user consent management.

When working with consent, Data bunker is using brief value as a consent name. It is unique per user, short consent id. Allowed chars are [a-z0-9-] . Max 64 chars.

Resource / HTTP method POST (create) GET (read) DELETE (delete)
/v1/consent/token/{token}/{brief} Create / Approve Get record Withdraw consent
/v1/consent/login/{login}/{brief} Create / Approve Get record Withdraw consent
/v1/consent/email/{email}/{brief} Create / Approve Get record Withdraw consent
/v1/consent/phone/{phone}/{brief} Create / Approve Get record Withdraw consent
/v1/consent/token/{token} N/A Get records N/A
/v1/consent/login/{login} N/A Get records N/A
/v1/consent/email/{email} N/A Get records N/A
/v1/consent/phone/{phone} N/A Get records N/A
/v1/consent/filter/{brief} N/A Get all users N/A

POST /v1/consent/{token,login,email,phone}/{address}/{brief}

Explanation

This API is used to store user consent.

POST Body Format

POST Body can contain regular form data or JSON. Expected values are message, status.

For example, for email marketing, users got distracted, when they need to login in order to unsubscribe from the newsletter. To simplify this operation, users will be allowed to unsubscribe only using email address without full login operation.


Passwordless tokens API

Resource / HTTP method POST (create) GET (read) PUT (update) DELETE (delete)
/v1/xtoken/{token} Create new record Error Error Error
/v1/xtoken/:xtoken Error Get data Error Error
router.POST("/v1/xtoken/{token}", e.userNewToken)
router.GET("/v1/xtoken/:xtoken", e.userCheckToken)

TODO-FINISH: THESE FEATURES ARE UNDER DEVELOPMEN

Shareable token API

Resource / HTTP method POST (create) GET (read) PUT (update) DELETE (delete)
/v1/shareable/{token} Create new record Error Error Error
/v1/shareable/{token} Error Get data Error Error

Temporary user access tokens

Sometimes, for example, when working with 3rd party partners or semi-trusted environments, you might need to generate a user access token with a specific expiration time. Your partner can retrieve user information during this specific time only. Afterward, access will be blocked.

The following command will generate a token to access user email and name for 7 days:

curl --header "X-Bunker-Token: $XTOKEN" -d 'fields=email,name' -d 'expiration=7d' -d 'partner=sms' \
   https://bunker.company.com/gentokens/DAD2474A-E9A7-4BA7-BFC2-C4506880198E

Output:

476E41E7-72AD-448A-BB43-7ACDB8C53735

3rd party logging

Instead of maintaining internal logs, a lot of companies are using 3rd party logging facility like logz or coralogix or something else. To improve adherence to GDPR, we build a special feature - generate specific session id for such 3rd party service.

When using these uuids in external systems, you basically pseudonymise personal data. In addition, in accordance with GDPR Article 5: Principles relating to processing of personal data. Personal data shall be: (c) adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (data minimisation);

Here is a command to do it:

curl -d 'ip=user@example.com' \
     -d 'user-agent=mozila' \
     -d 'partner=coralogix' \
     -d 'expiration=7d'\
   https://bunker.company.com/gensession/DAD2474A-E9A7-4BA7-BFC2-C4506880198E

It will generate a new token, that you can now pass to 3rd party system as a user id.
