Sign in Authentication
posted by Serge SanderSTAFFMOD on July 12, 2019 at 5:15 AM
Hi, i tried to understand the sign in process for a user to be able to set watchlists, rate etc.
I request a new Token, than i use the UserName and Password to validate with login and get a new token response, but if i go to the wegsite that should verify the token i always get this error:
Invalid Request Token The access token you have submitted is invalid. Most of the time, this is because the token has expired. Try creating a new one and making sure you have copied it correctly. If you continue to have issues, contact the developer of the app you're using.

Step 2: Ask the user for permission
when i use that in my react native app it shows a new "webpage" , yours .. with information but it says : please log in to continue .. !! so it doesn't let my users to authenticate their tokens !!
how is that ?

Yes, you will need to login to continue. That's how the API session you're in the process of trying to create gets attached to a user account.

Travis, thanks (already documented in docs) but what I do not understand is, V3 "Create Session with Login" option does not return a session ?? so why its called session et all ??
I do not want modify anything but I want to get lists,watchlist of a registered account, how can I do that ?

@rastek Can you create a new post with the specifics to your question? We can pick up the conversation there, no need to resurrect this one.
