Deep integrations
Create passports inside your signup flow, link sources from your UI, contribute memories as an attributed source, and read them back under the owner's passes.
Private beta. Onboarding is by request. The contract can change with notice while in beta.
Build AI Passport into your own product. A deep integration partner links or creates passports through one hosted signup flow, links data sources from its own UI, contributes its records as an attributed memory source, and reads memory back under the owner's passes. Your user returns to your flow after a short Passport Link popup. Provider consent happens on the provider's origin. Every AI Passport permission decision happens on ours.

Booking action passes
A travel app may prepare options and build an itinerary without a booking pass. It needs an owner-approved pass before the app or its agent dispatches a hold, booking, modification, cancellation, or refund. A charge remains a separate payment authorization. Direct checkout on the provider site does not need a Passport booking pass.
Request the OAuth scope booking:actions, then create an exact request at
POST /booking/v1/requests. Bind opaque member, trip, traveler, payment, and
disclosure references with provider, merchant, action set, currency,
minor-unit ceiling, expiry, remaining uses, and the lowercase SHA-256 hash of
the review you showed. The response includes the owner approval URL.
Request this scope only through the travel client's own OAuth authorization
flow. Passport Link tickets accept only openid, profile, email, and
memory; Link cannot request or bootstrap booking authority.
Before creating a booking request, use the ID token at_hash or the discovered
/oauth/token-info endpoint to prove the access token belongs to the travel
client's exact OAuth client id, and reject a same-owner token from any other
client.
Before each side effect, claim the pass at POST /booking/v1/claims, persist
the claim and provider idempotency key, mark dispatch before the provider call,
and settle as confirmed, failed, or unknown. An un-dispatched claim may be
released. A marked claim may not. Never retry an unknown outcome automatically.
Final price, currency, provider, merchant, travelers, material fare or room terms, cancellation terms, payment reference, protected disclosures, or itinerary changes require a new review hash and fresh approval. A booking pass grants no memory, connector, protected item, payment, or collaborator access.
Delegate a claim to an asynchronous workflow
When a worker cannot safely retain the user's OAuth token, mint one capability
for one booking attempt. This request needs the same booking:actions bearer
as the normal claim flow.
curl -X POST https://passport.ego.ist/booking/v1/delegations \
-H 'authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \

}'A new delegation returns status 201 with delegation, delegation_id,
pass_id, and expires_at. The raw delegation appears only in this response.
An already-redeemed provider attempt returns status 200 with its identifiers
and no raw capability.
expires_at is the deadline for the first redemption only. Once redeemed, the
same capability completes dispatch, settlement, or release for that claim. If
its 120-second lease expires before dispatch while the pass is live, repeat the
same redemption command to replay the claim with a fresh lease.
The worker sends no OAuth bearer and no lease token. It supplies the exact OAuth
client_id, the delegation, and a stable command identifier for each step.

consumed_failed | The provider failed after dispatch | Finish without retrying automatically |
consumed_unknown | Provider outcome is uncertain | Reconcile manually with a fresh pass |
released | Undispatched authority was released | Finish without spending a pass use |
expires_in defaults to 900 seconds and cannot exceed 3600 seconds. Passport
also caps it at the pass expiry. Encrypt the raw value in the workflow's own
security domain. Persist its command identifiers beside it before sending each
step. Never put the value in logs, metrics, URLs, analytics, or error reports.
It cannot act as an OAuth token and cannot authorize memory, connector,
disclosure, payment, another pass, another attempt, or a changed review.
What it is
The partner API is the server-to-server counterpart of Sign in with AI Passport. Sign-in serves users who already have a passport and are present in a browser. Deep integration serves the moment before that: your signup form, your backend, and a user who may or may not have a passport already. Passport Link sends every user through the same first-party authentication and consent surface, then returns a delegated token to your backend without revealing account existence beforehand.
The boundary is the point. Everything your integration does is attributed to it. The owner can see the integration and can sever it in one tap. Suspension turns off partner access everywhere on the next request. Your writes land as reference data from a named source, never as instructions. Your reads follow the same passes as every other app.
Normal-memory passes use one closed purpose. recall reads memory to answer
the user. The separately enabled personalize purpose uses approved
preferences to personalize visible results. Each purpose needs a separate
exact app and category pass, and one never authorizes the other. The current
partner recall and workspace endpoints remain recall-only.
Use POST /partner/v1/structured-recall when the user is present in your UI
and your app needs machine-readable governed memory. It follows the same body
and outcome contract as the native
structured memory endpoint, while
using the delegated partner token and its standing checks.
curl -X POST https://passport.ego.ist/partner/v1/structured-recall \
-H 'authorization: Bearer DELEGATED_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{
"categories": ["preference"],
"purpose": "personalize",
"query": "visible trip results",
"limit": 10,
"read_id": "results-page-01"
}'The response returns one entry per declared category. A missing pass opens an
exact pending request and returns a request-specific signed approval_url.
Open it for the owner, then retry the same read_id. Do not send the user to a
generic passes page for this flow. A declined or expired decision stays
distinct from a dependency failure. Concurrent retries may return different
URLs, and every returned URL remains valid until its advertised expiry.
The query, sorted category set, and limit are immutable for a read_id; a
mismatch returns read_id_conflict. The limit applies per category, with no
cross-category budget. Once a category serves rows, a matching retry reads only
that category's recorded memory IDs. Deleted rows may drop out, but newly
matching rows cannot enter the replay. That idempotent replay binding lasts 30
days from the first logical read. Replay rechecks delegation standing and the
recorded snapshot, pass, token binding, and deletion fence after hydration, so
a revocation during hydration refuses the response. Sealed storage may use a
short lease bound to the pass and exact category recorded in the committed
snapshot; it cannot trigger semantic search or category widening.
locked, unavailable, and account_unavailable are not empty results. Do
not interpret any of them as an absent preference or use a default ranking.
The endpoint claims a pass only for a healthy category that has rows to
return. It never returns your workspace items, live connector data, protected
memory, or graph support outside the authorized normal-memory rows.
Onboarding
Partner onboarding is managed. There is no self-serve signup for the partner record itself. Contact us through the developer form or at support@ego.ist. You receive a partner id, an API key shown once at mint, and an OAuth client that the delegated tokens bind to. Key rotation overlaps: we mint the new key first, and we revoke the old prefix when you confirm the cutover.
Two agreement points are settled during onboarding. First, the creation-notice email, which tells a person that a passport was created for their address. The notice is on by default. Only a written agreement can suppress it. Second, your source slug, the stable name your memories carry. The slug is fixed once anything has been attributed under it.
Two credentials, two planes
The API key authenticates your backend to the server plane. It can mint and redeem Passport Link tickets, or use the legacy net-new provisioning endpoint. It is never valid from a browser.
The delegated token pair comes back from provisioning and authenticates the user plane, one pair per user. The stored pair holds standing, not capability. The partner scope is injected when the token is verified, and only while three things are true: the integration is enabled, your partner record is active, and the owner has not severed the delegation. Suspension and severing therefore take effect on the next request, with no token sweep.

Choose the account flow
Use Passport Link first when your product needs a partner delegation. It works for new and existing Passport users.
Use attested provisioning only when your flow cannot open a popup. It accepts net-new email addresses only.
Use Sign in with AI Passport when AI Passport is your login provider. Sign-in returns identity claims through the standard login flow.
Link every user
Passport Link is the recommended signup path. Mint a ticket from your backend
with your stable user id, the scopes you need, and a short account-context label
the user will recognize. Do not send an email address. The endpoint refuses a
payload that contains an email field, even when its value is empty.

in a popup or webview. The first browser to open it becomes the only browser
that can finish it.
completion_redirect_uri is optional. Its host must match one of the redirect
hosts registered during onboarding with set-redirects. Every terminal Link
state redirects there with only ticket_id appended. The redirect never says
whether the user consented, refused, expired, or abandoned the flow. The page
also sends this fixed message to its opener, with targetOrigin set to the
registered origin:
{ source: "ai-passport-link", status: "finished" }Treat either signal only as a prompt to redeem. Redemption is the only source of truth about whether a delegated pair exists.
The user signs in with their normal AI Passport method. A new user can create a passport through the same email-code flow.
The consent screen names your integration, the account context, and every frozen scope. It also shows an existing workspace and its readability posture.
If the same Passport is already linked to a different account in your system, the page names both accounts and requires a separate replacement confirmation. A live binding to another Passport cannot be replaced from this flow.

link_not_available response as "no tokens available." Stop at the ticket
expiry.
If your backend loses a successful response, start a new Link flow. Re-consent keeps the delegation, revokes the old chain, and produces a fresh pair.
Workspaces
Suppose you run a restaurant booking service. Your workspace can remember that a diner prefers quiet tables. Your next booking flow can recall that preference. This state belongs to your service, not to the owner's Passport graph.
A workspace stores your product's working state for one user. Use it for preferences, session context, and interaction notes that your product owns.
A workspace is not part of the owner's Passport graph. It does not create proposals or appear as a source memory.
AI Passport archives do not include workspace content. The owner export is the copy mechanism for this plane.
Use the source endpoint for records that belong in the owner's Passport. Write to both planes when you need both results.
A delegated token binds every workspace call to one user. The API has no partner-wide list, search, or export operation.
Use the REST operations

Plan for quotas
Workspace quotas are separate from source ingestion quotas. Operations staff set three dials for each partner:
- New items per user each day
- Total live items per user
- UTF-8 bytes per item
These values are operational limits. They can change without an API version change.
An idempotent replay does not spend another daily item. Forgetting an item returns live capacity. It does not return the daily claim.
A spent live-item quota returns the quota name and current limit.

}Explain readability to the owner
Workspaces are private to the partner by default. One partner-wide setting can make them readable by the owner's assistants.
Choose this posture during onboarding. Contact us when you need to change it.
Readable workspaces use one exact pass bucket per partner. The owner cannot edit workspace items.
The connected-apps surface always shows the workspace object. It shows these fields:
- Partner name
- Item count
- Last-write time
Readable by your assistantsorPrivate to <partner>- Live or retained standing
- The purge-after date for retained data
The owner can export the full JSON or delete the workspace. Opaque content does not appear in place before export.
Handle locked workspaces
A sealed memory store seals every workspace. Content operations return status
423 with memory_locked.
A locked workspace returns the same body for every REST operation.
{
"error": "memory_locked",
"code": "memory_locked",
"request_id": "12e5b34b-67ca-4af7-b93c-26d5540da891",
"docs_url": "https://ego.ist/docs/partners#errors"
}This result applies to save, recall, list, forget, and owner export. Do not present it as an empty workspace or a failed search.
The owner can still delete or purge a sealed workspace. Destruction never requires an unlock.
Handle severing and relinking
Severing stops workspace access on the next request. AI Passport retains the workspace for 30 days.
The owner sees the purge-after date and can purge the data now. Relinking during the retention window restores the same workspace.
Relinking after purge starts with an empty workspace. Owner deletion also lets the partner start again with an empty workspace.
Partner suspension freezes workspace reads and writes. It does not destroy the workspace.
A workspace operation can return status 409 when severing wins a race.

Link sources from your UI
Before a user links, your backend can render the Passport connector catalog with
its partner API key. GET /partner/v1/catalog/connectors has no user or
delegation context. It returns each connector's label, reads, authentication
mode, and special-category flag. It never includes connection state and it
makes no availability claim. Use the delegated listing after Passport Link to
show whether that user has connected a source and whether it is reachable.
List the pre-link connector catalog.
curl https://passport.ego.ist/partner/v1/catalog/connectors \
-H 'authorization: Bearer pp_YOUR_KEY'With the delegated token, you can offer connector linking inside your own
product. GET /partner/v1/connectors lists what this user can connect, what
each source reads, and the current connection state. Sources that read
health-category data carry special_category: true. The response carries the
disclosure text and its version for them.
List connectors and the current health disclosure.

For wearable and nutrition sources, data is delivered through Terra API, Inc., a United States based aggregator that connects to the provider on your behalf. You can disconnect this source at any time, which stops all reads."
}
}To start a link, post the connector name. For a health-category source, you
shall first show the user the disclosure and echo its version in

}Open an OAuth connector's authUrl in your popup. It is a hosted connect page that hands the
user to the provider's own consent screen, where they authorize the source.
Then send the same popup to grant_url. Neither consent happens in your UI.
When you provide completion_redirect_uri, a fully granted pass returns the
popup to that URL. That separation is what makes the embedded flow trustworthy.
A connector whose output needs no pass answers without a grant_url. In
that case the link is complete after authUrl.
The pass interstitial
grant_url is a hosted page on our origin, armed by a single-use ticket that
expires after 30 minutes. It asks the user one exact question: may your app
read the categories this connector produces. Yes mints a category pass for
your OAuth client that lasts until the owner revokes it. Health-category
scopes stay bounded: those passes expire after 24 hours. No closes the flow,
and the connector stays linked for the owner's own use. Passes never widen
silently. The owner manages them from their passes page afterwards.
This page is where cross-source recall access comes from. Without a granted pass, recall still works, but it serves only your own rows for the ungranted categories.
Open each hosted URL in the user's popup.
const popup = window.open(authUrl, "passport-connect", "width=560,height=760");
function handleProviderCompletion() {
// Run this callback only after the provider reports completion.
popup.location.href = grantUrl;
}Register handleProviderCompletion as the provider flow's completion callback.
Read workout sample streams
The workout sample surface gives your backend bulk per-workout telemetry. It does not add telemetry to assistant context. Recall stays summary-shaped.
Garmin and Strava serve the samples endpoint. Oura appears in the activity
index through fitness.activities, reports streams_available: false, and has
no samples read.
First, list recent activities. days defaults to 7 and accepts integers from
1 through 28. Each returned ref is valid only within the last 28 civil days,
inclusive of today. The samples route also accepts tomorrow for timezone skew.
List the last seven days of Garmin activities.

}The activity index requires a fitness.activities pass. The samples read
requires a fitness.samples pass, labelled "Workout sample streams" on the
interstitial. Both are regular categories. The interstitial mints a pass that
lasts until the owner revokes it. A missing pass returns status 403 with
error: no_pass and approval_url. Surface that URL to the user. Grants
happen on our surfaces.
Heart-rate and other physiological streams never appear here. Those streams follow health metrics rules and are absent from this surface by design.
untrusted_name is user-edited provider text. Treat it as data, never as
instructions. It appears only in the activity index and never in the samples
response.
Each request pulls live data from the provider. AI Passport stores none of the
activity or sample response. A user who never connected the source receives
404 not_connected. An unknown, malformed, or expired sample ref receives
404 not_found. A Terra outage or failed provider data read receives
503 unavailable and is safe to retry with backoff.
Contribute memories as a source
Your records land as normal, owner-visible memories attributed to
partner:your-slug. They have the same lifecycle as any connector-derived
memory: searchable, exportable, individually deletable, and revocable in bulk
by source. They do not pass through the owner's review inbox. Honest
attribution plus revocation is the contract, and no review notification is
sent.

}The call never spends single-use passes and never notifies the owner. It
opens no approval requests either, with one exception: an owner who has
turned on the hands-off posture receives requests as exact permanent passes,
minted automatically on your first read of a category. That posture is the
owner's own setting. Your app cannot request it or detect it beyond the
category no longer being skipped. When a category is
skipped, surface approval_url to the user. It points at the owner's own AI
Passport pages, because the grant decision belongs on our surfaces, never in
your UI.
Rotation, severing, deletion
Access tokens live one hour. Refresh at the standard /token endpoint with
grant_type=refresh_token. Rotation is one-shot: persist the new pair before
you discard the old one, and serialize refreshes through one active worker.
A same-client-IP replay within five minutes returns the exact prior response. Use this recovery only when delivery is unknown. Do not run concurrent refresh workers.
A replay after five minutes revokes only that token family. A refresh that
answers invalid_grant means the delegation or pair is unavailable. Treat it
as the end of this relationship until the user reconnects.
RFC 7009 revocation of any live or retired refresh token closes its full server-side family, including access-token and refresh-token successors. The endpoint returns success for unknown tokens too, so it does not reveal whether the presented token was valid.

Your integration is a first-class object in the owner's passport. The owner sees the delegation on their connected-apps surface, under your name. A partner-created account shows the owner a review moment when they first arrive, and keeps showing it until they acknowledge it. Every memory you contribute carries your source label. The passes you hold are listed with everything else on their passes page. The same surface carries one control that forgets every memory your integration contributed, and it stays available after the owner disconnects you. Design your integration expecting the owner to look.

On the user plane, refusals are deliberately content-free. A severed
delegation, a suspended partner, and a deleted account return the same
invalid_token. A refresh in that state returns invalid_grant.
Treat either response as the end of this user's delegation. Use the status code and error string for retry logic. Retry a 503 with the same stable ids. Some failures can occur after a durable claim, so the retry must be idempotent.
Every REST JSON error includes request_id and docs_url. The request id
matches the X-Request-Id response header. Every 429 also includes
limit_name, an X-RateLimit-Name header, and Retry-After. Every partner
503 includes Retry-After.
MCP errors keep the standard JSON-RPC shape. Use this catalog as their document-only reference.
Partners shall tolerate unknown error strings. Use the HTTP status as the fallback retry class and retain the string for diagnostics.

| Read partner metadata | 60 per partner per minute |
| Read connector catalog | 60 per partner key per minute |
| Provision users | 30 per partner per minute |
| Mint Link tickets | 30 per partner per minute |

| Poll standing events | 60 per partner per minute |
| Start connector links and mint hosted-key tickets | 30 combined per OAuth client per minute |
| Push source items | 30 per OAuth client per minute |
| Recall owner memory | 60 per OAuth client and user per minute |
Read workout activity index (X-RateLimit-Name: partner_connector_activities) | 60 per OAuth client and user per minute |
Read one workout's samples (X-RateLimit-Name: partner_connector_samples) | 20 per OAuth client and user per minute |
| Each workspace operation | 60 per OAuth client and user per minute |
| Creation-notice browser actions | 20 per IP per 10 minutes |
| Connector-pass browser actions | 30 per IP per 10 minutes |
| Hosted-key page GET and POST actions | 30 combined per IP per 10 minutes (in-process second layer) |
| Hosted-key submissions | 15 per partner and Passport user per rolling hour (durable across tickets, replicas, and restarts) |
| Rejected credentials on one hosted-key ticket | 5 (durable) |
Limits are in-process safety limits unless the table marks them durable. A new
ticket does not reset either durable hosted-key budget. Five rejected
credentials end the hosted-key ticket without disclosing its outcome. Use the returned
Retry-After value rather than calculating a retry time from this table.
GET /partner/v1/connectors has no route throttle. Dependency protection and
upstream provider limits still apply. A throttled
GET /partner/v1/catalog/connectors returns 429 rate_limited,
Retry-After: 60, and X-RateLimit-Name: partner_connector_catalog.
Poll standing events
Poll POST /partner/v1/events with the partner API key and an RFC 8936 JSON
body. The feed returns signed Security Event Tokens. Verify each token with the
Passport JWKS before use.
Each token contains only your external_user_id as an opaque subject. It never
contains a Passport user id. Standard event names follow CAEP and RISC 1.0.
Poll for standing events.
curl -X POST https://passport.ego.ist/partner/v1/events \
-H 'authorization: Bearer pp_YOUR_KEY' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"maxEvents":100}'A successful poll returns signed SETs and pagination state.

Acknowledge each jti only after its SET verifies. The next request can
acknowledge the completed SETs and poll for another page atomically:
Acknowledge applied SETs on the next poll.
curl -X POST https://passport.ego.ist/partner/v1/events \
-H 'authorization: Bearer pp_YOUR_KEY' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"ack":["1843"],"maxEvents":100}'If a SET cannot be parsed or validated, report its jti in setErrs with an
RFC Security Event Token error code, a description, and a matching
Content-Language header. Do not use setErrs for errors applying an otherwise
valid event. Reporting setErrs does not successfully acknowledge that jti.
The SET remains eligible for redelivery until it appears in ack or reaches the
90-day ceiling.
Acknowledged jtis are retained for seven days after acknowledgment.
Unacknowledged events are redelivered on later polls and remain available for
no more than 90 days. Acknowledgments are per SET, so concurrent workers may
safely acknowledge their own pages without advancing past another worker's
unprocessed page. moreAvailable says whether another unacknowledged SET was
available beyond this response.
The server keeps an internal ordering cursor only to rotate pages fairly. It is not an acknowledgment. A suspended partner may poll and acknowledge events.
Webhooks
Webhooks are an optional acceleration path for managed partners. Registration is manual: ask us to register one credential-free HTTPS endpoint for your partner. The endpoint must be publicly reachable, must not redirect, and should return a 2xx response quickly. Passport retries only the notification, never a data payload.
Every POST has Content-Type: application/secevent+jwt and its body is one
compact RFC Security Event Token. Verify the SET before using it, using the same
Passport JWKS as the poll feed and requiring typ: secevent+jwt.
A connector activity notification is a signed thin ping.

"iss": "https://passport.ego.ist",
"aud": "partner-client",
"iat": 1786735930,
"jti": "9127",
"sub_id": { "format": "opaque", "id": "user-1042" },
"events": {

"connector": "garmin",
"ref": "djF8MjAyNi0wOC0yOHw4ZWY2ZDYyYTY4MmE4MWIw"
}
}
}The notification contains an opaque subject, connector slug, and activity ref.
It has no activity name, metric, sample, location, or Passport user id. Treat it
as a trigger to pull through the pass-gated activity endpoints, never as data.
A notification for the same connector and ref may rarely repeat with a fresh
jti. Treat pings as idempotent pull triggers keyed on the ref.
The existing standing events can also arrive by webhook. Their jti is exactly
the same as the corresponding poll-feed SET, so dedupe across push and polling
by jti. A webhook receipt does not acknowledge the poll feed. Continue polling
and acknowledge standing SETs only after they are applied.
Transient delivery failures retry with jittered exponential backoff beginning at about 30 seconds and capped at one hour. A delivery stops after 12 attempts. Twenty consecutive exhausted deliveries automatically disable the endpoint. Ask us to re-enable it after correcting the endpoint.
A malformed partner API key returns this status 401 body.

There is no shared sandbox or fake-user environment. Test against the live API
with the managed partner key and OAuth client we issue. Start with
GET /partner/v1/me. Confirm the partner id, key prefix, scopes, readability
posture, and quotas before creating a Link ticket.
Use a dedicated test Passport with no production user data. Exercise Link denial, narrowed scopes, connector cancellation, refresh recovery, quota handling, workspace retention, and delegation severing.
Send the evidence in the Going live checklist. We admit completion and redirect hosts during that review.
