This section provides an overview of how to authenticate with the Pay as you Track API.

Calls in this section:

• Login
• Logout

---

Logging on

Necessary before any subsequent call to the API. Look for a return of “ok” and a GUID in the “ticketid”. Any previously allocated tickets for these login credentials will expired. This means you cannot use the same authentication details more than once.

This is not strictly necessary but good practice. Look for “ok” in the response. The authentication ticket will be immediately expired and cannot be reused.
