Create Federation Issuer

POST/v1/organizations/federation_issuers

The jwks field controls how the issuer's signing keys are obtained and takes one of three shapes selected by type: discovery (resolve keys through OIDC discovery), explicit_url (fetch keys from a fixed JWKS URL), or inline (provide a static key set). When jwks.type is discovery and no discovery_base is set, the issuer URL must be publicly reachable over HTTPS so Anthropic can fetch the discovery document; for explicit_url and inline modes the issuer URL is only matched as the JWT's iss claim and is not fetched.

Requires an OAuth bearer or Console session; Admin API keys are not accepted.

Headers

"anthropic-beta": optional array of string

Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.

To use multiple betas, use a comma separated list like beta1,beta2 or specify the header multiple times for each beta.

Body

issuer_url: string

The iss claim value to match against.

minLength1

name: string

Slug identifier (lowercase, digits, hyphens). Unique within the organization; a duplicate name returns 409.

maxLength255

minLength1

check_jti: optional boolean or null

Whether the jwt-bearer exchange enforces JTI single-use (replay protection) for tokens from this issuer. Defaults to true. Applies only to assertions carrying a jti claim; tokens without one are accepted without single-use enforcement.

jwks: optional object{ type, ca_cert_pem, discovery_base } or object{ type, url, ca_cert_pem } or object{ keys, type }

How signing keys are obtained. Defaults to OIDC discovery.

One of the following:

Discovery object{ type, ca_cert_pem, discovery_base }

JWKS via the issuer's OIDC discovery document.

type: "discovery"

ca_cert_pem: optional string or null

Optional custom CA (PEM) for TLS verification of the JWKS fetch.

maxLength8192

discovery_base: optional string or null

Set when the discovery URL differs from issuer_url.

ExplicitURL object{ type, url, ca_cert_pem }

JWKS fetched from a fixed endpoint.

type: "explicit_url"

url: string

JWKS endpoint.

minLength1

ca_cert_pem: optional string or null

Optional custom CA (PEM) for TLS verification of the JWKS fetch.

maxLength8192

Inline object{ keys, type }

JWKS supplied directly; no network fetch.

keys: array of map[unknown]

Inline JWK objects.

minItems1

type: "inline"

max_jwt_lifetime_seconds: optional number or null

Maximum allowed iat→exp spread for assertions from this issuer (1-176400 seconds, i.e. up to 49h). Defaults to 3600 (1h). Assertions must carry both iat and exp; a missing iat is rejected.

maximum176400

Returns

FederationIssuer object{ id, archived_at, archived_by_actor_id, 12 more }

Registered external OIDC identity provider.

Records an external IdP the organization trusts for the RFC 7523 jwt-bearer grant. The issuer_url must match the JWT iss claim exactly.
