MX Session Token

  • Request an API token using the read API token endpoint in the MX SSO API.
  • Exchange an API token for a session token.
    • A session token is obtained by sending a POST request to /sessions
    • The session token will be used in each request made for the user. It should be passed in an MD-SESSION-TOKEN HTTP header as shown below.
    • This session token is valid for 30 minutes from the time it was created. The 30 minute expiration counter is refreshed with each call.
    • If you send a request with an expired session token you'll receive an error code of 4011.
