Spongecell API Documentation: Reference - Authorization Tokens

Authorization Tokens

Authenticate to your Spongecell user account and manage your authorization tokens.

Currently, this API only provides a create action for creating a temporary authorization token which provides full access to the authenticated user account. The token will expire one hour after creation.

This is similar to a session, except that the token is explicitly passed for each request.

The API requires one of 3 sets of parameters for proper authentication: user_name and password, wkey, or digest and timestamp. The parameters are described in detail below.
