Authentication

Authenticating with Summit API

When you authenticate with Summit API you receive back two pieces of information that are required on each subsequent API call. One is the API key, which is required in the x-api-key header and used to manage throttling and quota limits to the API. The other is the SDK Token, which is in the form of a JSON Web Token (JWT) and is required in the Authorization header. The SDK token is used to authorize each call to the API and expires 60 minutes after being issued.
