POST tokens

Require a new JWT token from the web api. The process to use a JWT token is as follows:

  • Request a new JWT Token from client, by providing a Token Request
  • Receive the token as a string
  • Pass the token as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for every request

If the token is expired, you will receive a 401 Unauthorized http status code.
