Authentication

To authenticate with Couchdrop see the routes below

Authenticating with Couchdrops API requires a username and password and on success returns a new authentication token. This token can then we be used in subsequent API requests. Tokens generated using this route only exist for a short period of time and should not be used for long term API access.

For long term access, create and administrative token in Couchdrop's administration interface.

API tokens inherit the permissions of the authenticating user.
