# OCI auth method (API)

This is the API documentation for the Vault OCI auth method plugin. To
learn more about the usage and operation, see the
[Vault OCI auth method](/vault/docs/auth/oci).

This documentation assumes the OCI method is mounted at the
`/auth/oci` path in Vault. Since it is possible to enable auth methods at
any location, please update your API calls accordingly.
