GET
Retrieves a specific Method public key by its ID. This endpoint is particularly useful when subscribing to webhook notifications for Method JWK events (method_jwk.create and method_jwk.update), as the webhook payload includes a path field pointing to this endpoint.
This endpoint retrieves Method’s public keys, not your own registered keys. A retrieved key may be an encryption key, used for encrypting your requests, or a signing key, used for verifying Method’s response signatures. To manage your own keys, use the TEAM JWKS API.

Path Parameters

Webhook Integration

When you subscribe to method_jwk.create or method_jwk.update webhook events, the webhook payload will include a path field like /auth/mthd_jwk_12. You can make a GET request to this path to retrieve the updated key information. These events fire for Method’s signing keys as well as its encryption keys. Example webhook event object:

Returns

Returns the specified Method public key object with its current status and metadata.
