login through restapi

How to login through restapi

  • When you authenticate through the REST API (as described in the REST API User Authentication page and the REST API sessions/login call doc page), the response of the /restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login call will contain the REST API session key.  You want to include this session key as the value of the restapi.session_key parameter in subsequent REST API calls to make those calls as the user you authenticated as.

  • Where can I find the documentation for the login restapi??  I want to see all the successful responses and all error responses.  I want to create an object automatically from the response that the login restapi returns. Thanks for the help
