Authenticating
To get access to non-public data -- which most data is not -- you will need to authenticate your browser or web client. Authentication validates your account, and responds by returning a temporary authentication cookie for your session, which can be used for further requests. Most current web clients will store this cookie automatically, and submit it on further requests.
The authentication cookie will be valid for 8 hours. For example:http://sample.nodeurl.tld/api/authenticate.sjs?email=youremail@email.com&password=yourpass
