Understanding authentication with Sophos Central API

Hi Stefano,

No, the JWT expires as per best practice. We do provide the expiry time in the token so you know when you need to renew.

For myself, my API calls all have a check at the beginning if the JWT expiry time has passed and (if it has) the call auto generates a new JWT and stores that for other calls.

Hi Richard, ok I understand. Had a similar idea to automate the renew of the JWT. 

Can you provide me an example on how to build a call like this?

Thanks

what lang are you using to script this?

I'm using PRTG as monitoring system. I can use direct REST API sensors or powershell, python scripts and more
