Fernet Decrypt takes a ciphertext token and the matching key, then returns the decrypted plaintext as a string.
Use it when you need to reverse Fernet-encrypted data inside a workflow, test harness, or internal admin tool. Send the ciphertext and key in the request body; the response includes plaintext when decryption succeeds.
Fernet Decrypt is a fit for security-sensitive systems that already store encrypted payloads and need a small, direct decryption step without building that logic into every service. It keeps the interface narrow: one request body, one plaintext output.
Because the endpoint only returns decrypted text, it works well for backend jobs, debugging encrypted messages, or verifying that a key matches a stored token before handing the result to another process.
Decrypt a ciphertext by sending the ciphertext and key fields in a JSON body.
