Header

{clienttoken: XXXXX}

Payload

{
 "data": {
   "username": "{{USERNAME}}",
   "password": "{{PASSWORD}}"
 }
}

Response

{
 "message_code": 0,
 "item": {
   "auth_token": "fe2c40a7-68dc-476c-acf8-b850fb72e7c0/XPI0001/992af94b- fff2-4e06-a087-34dfc0e3e1542"
 }

Use the auth token from step 3.1 to invoke this API. You can use conditions in the payload, so you do not have to store the filing codes. However, you still have the option to store codes locally if you want to.
