POST /api/login/renewToken

Updates the time for which an authentication token cookie is valid, as well as other information stored in the cookie.

The cookie expiration time is stored as part of the cookie value itself, in the HTTP header. This operation updates the expiration time by sending a new cookie value to the server.

There must be a valid cookie in place for this operation to succeed; if the cookie has already expired the operation will fail.

Authorization Roles/Permissions: Must be logged in.

Request Headers

For general information on request header values, refer to HTTP Request Headers.

Header Description
Accept application/json, application/vnd.soa.v71+json, application/vnd.soa.v72+json, application/vnd.soa.v80+json, application/vnd.soa.v81+json
Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Cookie AtmoAuthToken_{fedmemberid}={cookie value, which usually starts with TokenID}—The platform cookie. This is the Akana API Platform authorization token, and must be sent with every API request that requires login. For more information and an example, see Session cookies.
X-Csrf-Token_{fedmemberID} The CSRF prevention header; may or may not be required, depending on platform settings. See CSRF Prevention on the Platform. By default, the CSRF header is not required for GET operations and is required for all others, with a few exceptions relating to user login.

Request Parameters

None. However, the cookie parameter in the request header is important since there must be a valid cookie in place for this operation to work. The request must include a valid token that has not expired.

If your programming environment records the cookie and sends it automatically with your requests, there's nothing else you'll need to do. If it doesn't, you'll need to capture the cookie after login and send it as an HTTP request header for each request.

Response

If successful, the renewToken method returns an updated user authentication token.

Sample Response

The sample response below shows a new cookie returned.
