Endpoint details

How login works

1. Send the account username and password in the request body.
2. If the credentials are valid, the API returns JWTAUTH, the JSON Web Token used for authentication.
3. Use JWTAUTH to authenticate subsequent authorized API requests.
4. Re-authenticate after the token expires.
