Login

Any user can login by sending a POST request to /login with the required parameters (username, password).
Upon successful login, a token will be given. Users can use this token in the request header to perform any authenticated access.
All tokens are set to expiry after 99999 days. This value can be adjusted in API settings under JWT_EXPIRATION_DELTA.

Verify Token

To verify if a token is still valid, sending a POST request to /verifyToken with the token that needs verification, will return the same token if it was successfully verified.
