+Device authentication
+=====================
+
+Initializing a new device
+-------------------------
+
+Users can create new devices in the "Device" section of their organizer settings. When creating
+a new device, users can specify a list of events the device is allowed to access. After a new
+device is created, users will be presented initialization instructions, consisting of an URL
+and an initialization token. They will also be shown as a QR code with the following contents::
+
+   {"handshake_version": 1, "url": "https://pretix.eu", "token": "kpp4jn8g2ynzonp6"}
+
+Your application should be able to scan a QR code of this type, or allow to enter the URL and the
+initialization token manually. The handshake version is not used for manual initialization. When a
+QR code is scanned with a higher handshake version than you support, you should reject the request
+and prompt the user to update the client application.
+
+After your application received the token, you need to call the initialization endpoint to obtain
+a proper API token. At this point, you need to identify the name and version of your application,
+as well as the type of underlying hardware. Example:
+
+.. sourcecode:: http
+
+   POST /api/v1/device/initialize HTTP/1.1
+   Host: pretix.eu
+   Content-Type: application/json
+
+   {
+       "token": "kpp4jn8g2ynzonp6",
+       "hardware_brand": "Samsung",
+       "hardware_model": "Galaxy S",
+       "software_brand": "pretixdroid",
+       "software_version": "4.0.0"
+   }
+
+Every initialization token can only be used once. On success, you will receive a response containing
+information on your device as well as your API token:
+
+.. sourcecode:: http
+
+   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+   Content-Type: application/json
+
+   {
+       "organizer": "foo",
+       "device_id": 5,
+       "unique_serial": "HHZ9LW9JWP390VFZ",
+       "api_token": "1kcsh572fonm3hawalrncam4l1gktr2rzx25a22l8g9hx108o9oi0rztpcvwnfnd",
+       "name": "Bar"
+   }
+
+Please make sure that you store this ``api_token`` value. We also recommend storing your device ID, your assigned
+``unique_serial``, and the ``organizer`` you have access to, but that's up to you.
+
+In case of an error, the response will look like this:
+
+.. sourcecode:: http
+
+   HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
+   Content-Type: application/json
+
+   {"token":["This initialization token has already been used."]}
+
+
+Performing API requests
+-----------------------
+
+You need to include the API token with every request to pretix' API in the ``Authorization`` header
+like the following:
+
+.. sourcecode:: http
+   :emphasize-lines: 3
+
+   GET /api/v1/organizers/ HTTP/1.1
+   Host: pretix.eu
+   Authorization: Device 1kcsh572fonm3hawalrncam4l1gktr2rzx25a22l8g9hx108o9oi0rztpcvwnfnd
+
+Updating the software version
+-----------------------------
+
+If your application is updated, we ask you to tell the server about the new version in use. You can do this at the
+following endpoint:
+
+.. sourcecode:: http
+
+   POST /api/v1/device/update HTTP/1.1
+   Host: pretix.eu
+   Content-Type: application/json
+   Authorization: Device 1kcsh572fonm3hawalrncam4l1gktr2rzx25a22l8g9hx108o9oi0rztpcvwnfnd
+
+   {
+       "hardware_brand": "Samsung",
+       "hardware_model": "Galaxy S",
+       "software_brand": "pretixdroid",
+       "software_version": "4.1.0"
+   }
+
+Creating a new API key
+----------------------
+
+If you think your API key might have leaked or just want to be extra cautious, the API allows you to create a new key.
+The old API key will be invalid immediately. A request for a new key looks like this:
+
+.. sourcecode:: http
+
+   POST /api/v1/device/roll HTTP/1.1
+   Host: pretix.eu
+   Authorization: Device 1kcsh572fonm3hawalrncam4l1gktr2rzx25a22l8g9hx108o9oi0rztpcvwnfnd
+
+The response will look like the response to the initialization request.
+
+Removing a device
+-----------------
+
+If you want implement a way to to deprovision a device in your software, you can call the ``revoke`` endpoint to
+invalidate your API key. There is no way to reverse this operation.
+
+.. sourcecode:: http
+
+   POST /api/v1/device/revoke HTTP/1.1
+   Host: pretix.eu
+   Authorization: Device 1kcsh572fonm3hawalrncam4l1gktr2rzx25a22l8g9hx108o9oi0rztpcvwnfnd
+
+This can also be done by the user through the web interface.
