### Syntax

currently this only accepts a url that gives back account setup information as a json object.
see the [mailadm](https://github.com/deltachat/mailadm) project for more details as this api was designed for use with burner account qr codes generated by mailadm.
This scheme contains either the domain name of a chatmail server or an HTTPS URL.

```
DCACCOUNT:https://example.org/new_email?t=1w_7wDjgjelxeX884x96v3
```
If domain name is used, e.g. as `DCACCOUNT:example.org`,
then the client should generate a 9-character alphanumeric lowercase username,
e.g. `[email protected]`,
and a password that is at least 30 characters long,
drawn from the full set of alphanumeric characters (`A-Z`, `a-z`, `0-9`).

If URL is used, e.g. `DCACCOUNT:https://example.org/new_email?t=1w_7wDjgjelxeX884x96v3`,
then the client should make an HTTP/1.1 GET request
and receive account setup information as a JSON object.
See the [mailadm](https://github.com/deltachat/mailadm) project for more details as this API was designed for use with burner account QR codes generated by mailadm.

You may want to use [`DCLOGIN`](#DCLOGIN) instead, if you want a qr code containing login information for a single account.
