Token: Get

Generates a unique, self-expiring time token that can be used to authenticate a series of API calls performed by a user within a given time frame.

The data to be submitted to the API is composed of the following fields:

NOTE:

• The token_interval is optional. It is a limit on the validity of the token, in seconds. If not given, it will default to 60 seconds. This means the token will no longer be valid after that time interval (ie: will result in an error when the "Token - Validate" API call is made to validate it.)

Example PHP Request:
