Account Server (Switch)
Switch Servers > Nintendo Accounts
This server is responsible for Nintendo accounts. Nintendo accounts are created off-device, and are required to use Nintendo Switch online services, including the eShop. For more information on Nintendo accounts, check out Nintendo's support page.
The API takes form-encoded requests and responds with json-encoding.
The website can be visited in a web browser at https://accounts.nintendo.com. Static assets, such as css and javascript files are hosted on https://cdn.accounts.nintendo.com.
On this website, one can either create a Nintendo account directly, or create a Nintendo account from a Facebook, Google, Twitter or Apple account. A Nintendo account contains basic profile information, such as nickname and birthday, but also many more advanced features such as two-factor authentication and family groups.
