Authentication Token Overview (BETA)
The JWT authentication scheme with Sila will follow the conventional HTTP Bearer token scheme:
- Request an
auth_token
for your client application from the Sila API; this auth token will have atoken
value and anexpiration
timestamp.Refer to the
[/auth_token](https://docs.silamoney.com/docs/auth_token
docs for more information - Store this
auth_token
in your local database, and continue to re-use this token for application-level authorization for all requests until it's nearly expired. - If and when you notice that the token's expiration time is almost up (30 minutes or less), you may request a new auth token from the Sila API.
Use of an expired token will return a 401 response.
