Response

 

Response:

The RESTful service request returns an access_token. Use the value returned through the access_token on your upload requests.

The following is an example response for an access token (JSON format):

{

    "access_token": "mz4CQ1ZHeLocZ2OUtqp0b-kv...",

    "token_type": "bearer",,

    "expires_in": 1209599,

    "userName": "MyUserName",

    "startWorkHrs": "5",

    "endWorkHrs": "19",,

    ".issued": "Thu, 14 May 2015 16:11:59 GMT",

    ".expires": "Thu, 28 May 2015 16:11:59 GMT"

}

 

The access_token can be used repeatedly until it expires, which is currently 14 days after it was initially requested. In the above example, the response indicates that the token expires in 1,209,599 seconds (expires_in), was issued on the 14th of May (.issued) and expires on the 28th (.expires).
