Overview
Token authentication is mandatory for all Fluent integrations.
Key points
- An authentication token is required for every request.
- You can reuse the same token until it expires.
When using Fluent APIs, an authentication token is required for every request. You can reuse the same token until it expires.
Every token has a limited lifetime and can be invalidated for a number of reasons. It will expire periodically.
Integrations built against the APIs will need to manage re-authentication in the event that the token has expired.
Care should, however be taken not to enter an infinite loop for re-authentication in the case of an error.
