Requesting a session token

Edit online

This example shows how to generate a session ID (bearer token).

Generate a unique session ID using the GET /token endpoint. This operation authenticates the session and creates a token that can be used on subsequent requests, improving the response time and reducing the number of times the user credentials are transferred between the client and the monitoring server.

The response is a JSON document that returns information about the token using the SSSToken schema. You can use the token on subsequent requests.
