First steps with the Senuto API

.
To take full advantage of the API you need the highest plan – Professional. The first step to be taken is to obtain a token. This uses a Bearer Token, which is issued to a specific user. It is valid for 30 days and must be renewed every that time – security requires it, as it is not encrypted. Do not give your token to anyone. To obtain it, you can use, for example, a short Python code, according to documentation. The libraries (needed for each query) used for actions are: import requests and import json. They are built into Python, so no additional downloads are required..

To access the data and use the Bearer Token, authorization is required. The token is checked to ensure that it has not been altered, and that the user can access the information. For each request, authorization must be done with the token, with the token being placed in the headers when sending a request to obtain data. .
