Yes, there are other endpoints to get the session. One of them is the

toSession

endpoint. This endpoint authenticates users by checking if the

Cookie

HTTP header was set containing an Ory Kratos Session Cookie, if the

Authorization: bearer <ory-session-token>

HTTP header was set with a valid Ory Kratos Session Token, or if the

X-Session-Token

HTTP header was set with a valid Ory Kratos Session Token. If none of these headers are set or the cookie or token are invalid, the endpoint returns a HTTP 401 status code. Another endpoint is

<http://127.0.0.1/sessions/whoami>

. This endpoint can be used to check the Ory Session Token. For more details, you can refer to the [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api) and [Kratos API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/api).

To verify the code in the email and get the session, you can follow these steps: 1. Ory supports two strategies for verifying your user's addresses: One-time codes and Magic Links. If you're using one-time codes, Ory Identities sends an email with a 6-digit code to the user. They must enter the code in a dedicated UI text field to verify their address. The email also contains a link, that takes the user to the verification form with the code pre-filled in the appropriate form field. The user must submit the form to verify their address. 2. After the user's email address is verified, they can sign in. If sessions are issued after registration, users will be signed in after registration, but will need to verify their email address before they can sign in using other devices or browsers and get more active sessions as a result. 3. Once the user is signed in, you can use the Ory SDK to call the

/sessions/whoami

endpoint while automatically including the cookies in the request. This will return the session data. Here is an example of how to use the SDK to get the session:

tsx import { Configuration, FrontendApi, Session } from "@ory/client"   import { useEffect, useState } from "react"      const frontend = new FrontendApi(    new Configuration({    basePath: "<http://localhost:4000>", // Use your local Ory Tunnel URL    baseOptions: {    withCredentials: true,    },    }),   )      export function checkSession() {    const [session, setSession] = useState<Session>(undefined)       useEffect(() => {    frontend    // the cookie is automatically sent with the request    .toSession()    .then(({ data: session }) => {    setSession(session)    })    .catch((error) => {    // The session could not be fetched    // This might occur if the current session has expired    })    }, [])       return session ? (    <table>    <tr>    <th>Session ID</th>    <th>Expires at</th>    <th>Authenticated at</th>    </tr>    <tr id={session.id}>    <td>{session.id}</td>    <td>{session.expires_at || ""}</td>    <td>{session.authenticated_at || ""}</td>    </tr>    </table>    ) : (    <div>Loading session data...</div>    )   }

For more details, you can refer to the [Ory Documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/verify-email-account-activation#choosing-the-right-strategy) and [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api).

Based on the information provided in the extracts, it's not possible to get a session without signing in. A session is proof that a user is authenticated, and it's issued when a user authenticates, for example by signing in with their username and password. There are two formats in which sessions can be issued: - Ory Session Cookie: This is stored in the browser when the system detects that the interaction is performed through a web browser. - Ory Session Token: This is issued to the client when the system detects that the interaction is performed by a client other than a web browser, for example a native mobile app. You can check if a user is signed in and has an active session using the

/sessions/whoami

endpoint. If the user doesn't have an active session, the system returns a

401 Unauthorized

response. If the user has an active session, you get a

200 OK

response and the session payload. For more details, you can refer to the [Ory Documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/session-management/overview) and [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api).
