post__user_login

POST /user/login

User Login

Authenticate user with email and password.

This endpoint validates user credentials and returns JWT tokens for API access. The system checks:

Email exists and is active
Password matches stored hash
Account is not deleted or banned

Authentication Flow:

Submit email and password
System validates credentials
Returns JWT access token and refresh token
Use access token in Authorization header for API calls
Use refresh token to get new access token when expired

Token Expiration:

Access tokens expire after 1 hour
Refresh tokens have longer expiration
Use /user/refresh to renew access tokens
