Authentication

An authentication token is required in header for the API to return response. To get your Authorization Token, use the Get Access Token endpoint. The response would consist of token type, access token and expiry time. Authorization consists of the token type and access token seperated by space. After the expiry, the request would generate an invalid_request response.
