@chilly-king-10285 does hydra have any other API to get login challenge except for /oauth2/auth api ?

A message from kapa.ai
Based on the provided knowledge sources, Ory Hydra does not offer a separate API to directly obtain a login challenge. The login challenge is generated as part of the OAuth2/OpenID Connect flow when the end user's browser is redirected to the
/oauth2/auth
endpoint. This endpoint appends the
login_challenge
as a query parameter when redirecting to your login provider. To interact with the login challenge, you use the
/admin/oauth2/auth/requests/login
API to fetch information about an existing login request, but this requires that you already have the
login_challenge
value, which is initially provided via the
/oauth2/auth
browser flow [User login and consent flow](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/custom-login-consent/flow) [Hydra API Reference - getOAuth2LoginRequest](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ory/hydra/master/spec/api.json). In summary: There is no API to generate or obtain a login challenge except through the
/oauth2/auth
endpoint, which is intended for browser-based flows. All other APIs (such as
/admin/oauth2/auth/requests/login
) require an existing
login_challenge
as input.

@chilly-king-10285 what are the query parameters for hydra /Oauth2/session/logout api ?
c
A message from kapa.ai
The knowledge sources do not provide a complete, explicit list of all possible query parameters for the Hydra
/oauth2/sessions/logout
API. However, based on the available documentation, the following parameters are mentioned as commonly used in the logout flow: - `id_token_hint`: The ID Token previously issued to the user. Including this helps identify the user session to be logged out, even if no session cookie exists. - `post_logout_redirect_uri`: The URI to which the user will be redirected after logout, if it is whitelisted for the client. - `state`: A value used to maintain state between the logout request and the response. These parameters are referenced in the context of OpenID Connect logout flows and are used to control the behavior of the logout process, including redirection and session identification [OpenID Connect logout](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/oidc-logout#redirect-after-logout) [OAuth2 logout not working](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/debug/logout). Note: The knowledge sources do not provide a formal, exhaustive parameter table for this endpoint, so if you need a definitive list, please refer to the official Ory Hydra OpenAPI specification or the [Hydra API Reference](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ory/hydra/master/spec/api.json).
