      summary: Register for an account on this homeserver.
      description: |-
        This API endpoint uses the `User-Interactive Authentication API`.

        Register for an account on this homeserver.

        There are two kinds of user account:

        - `user` accounts. These accounts may use the full API described in this specification.

        - `guest` accounts. These accounts may have limited permissions and may not be supported by all servers.

      parameters:
        - in: query
          name: kind
          type: string
          x-example: guest
          required: false

          enum:
            - guest
            - user
          description: The kind of account to register. Defaults to `user`.

                  If true, the server binds the email used for authentication to
                  the Matrix ID with the ID Server.
                example: false
              username:

                  The local part of the desired Matrix ID. If omitted,
                  the homeserver MUST generate a Matrix ID local part.

              access_token:

                description: |-
                  An access token for the account.
                  This access token can then be used to authorize other requests.
                  The access token may expire at some point, and if so, it SHOULD come with a ``refresh_token``.
                  There is no specific error message to indicate that a request has failed because
                  an access token has expired; instead, if a client has reason to believe its
                  access token is valid, and it receives an auth error, they should attempt to
                  refresh for a new token on failure, and retry the request with the new token.
              refresh_token:
                type: string
                # TODO: Work out how to linkify /tokenrefresh
                description: |-
                  (optional) A ``refresh_token`` may be exchanged for a new ``access_token`` using the /tokenrefresh API endpoint.
              home_server:
                type: string
                description: The hostname of the homeserver on which the account has been registered.
        400:
          description: |-
            Part of the request was invalid. This may include one of the following error codes:

            * ``M_USER_IN_USE`` : The desired user ID is already taken.
            * ``M_INVALID_USERNAME`` : The desired user ID is not a valid user name.
            * ``M_EXCLUSIVE`` : The desired user ID is in the exclusive namespace
              claimed by an application service.

            These errors may be returned at any stage of the registration process,
            including after authentication if the requested user ID was registered
            whilst the client was performing authentication.

            Homeservers MUST perform the relevant checks and return these codes before
            performing User-Interactive Authentication, although they may also return
            them after authentication is completed if, for example, the requested user ID
            was registered whilst the client was performing authentication.

            Returns an error object indicating the nature of the error. A Home Server may use
            ``M_THREEPID_IN_USE`` to inform the user that the email address is already registered
            to an account on this server, however, if the home server has the ability to send email,
            it is recommended that the server instead send an email to the user with instructions
            on how to reset their password.
          examples:

        This API endpoint uses the `User-Interactive Authentication API`_.

        An access token should be submitted to this endpoint if the client has
        an active session.

        The homeserver may change the flows available depending on whether a
        valid access token is provided.
