Get |
This API must be called with X-SecretKey, X-Authentication or X-EntityToken headers. An optional EntityKey may be included to attempt to set the resulting EntityToken to a specific entity, however the entity must be a relation of the caller, such as the master_player_account of a character. If sending X-EntityToken the account will be marked as freshly logged in and will issue a new token. If using X-Authentication or X-EntityToken the header must still be valid and cannot be expired or revoked. |
