Auth Method

You must have a valid access token to use the Eggplant AI API. To get this token, send your Eggplant AI account email and password to the auth endpoint. The response contains an access token, which is then used in an Authorization header prefixed with the word bearer and a space between the word bearer and the access token. Access tokens expire after one hour. Upon expiration, you will receive a 401 Unauthorized response from any of the REST API endpoints. Send your credentials again to the auth endpoint to get a new access token. Your scripts need to make allowances for access token expiration and renewal.
