GetFrob API

The GetToken API call is part of Approver.com Web Services Authentication. It is intended for use by a client application that is attempting to create an authentication token. Web sites that use the Approver.com API should not use this call (they should retrieve a frob after authentication instead).

Parameters

This call takes the following query string parameters:

Parameter Description
app_key  Your application key. Required. 

Note that once a frob has been converted into a full token by calling this method, the frob is no longer valid. Also, frobs have a 60-minute lifespan, so if your application does not call this method within 60 minutes of the user's login, the user will need to authenticate again to generate a fresh frob.
