Authentication API allows you to log in with a user’s email address and password. The user may be either a member of your account or your customer’s account. For customers posting jobs via Applicant Tracking System (ATS), the caller is ATS and the user belongs to the customer’s account. A session token is returned after a successful login and is required to verify authorization when calling other services. The session token expires after eight hours. If the user is a member of multiple accounts, the account must be specified in the login call or the login will fail.
