how to generate a token ?

[arhimede]

If I want to generate a token to do various API calls, how should I do it ?

The below page is not useful https://github.com/dotkernel/api/blob/5.0/documentation/command/token-generate.md

This command is NOT for generating access tokens. It can be extended to that as well, but in its current form, it cannot only generate tokens for the error-reporting endpoint (used by JS frontends to report various errors to the API).

If you want to generate an access token, you can do that using Postman (or curl if you don't have Postman installed).

How ? Lets xomplete the documentation about that ...

[alexmerlin]

We have an article about working with Postman. https://www.dotkernel.com/how-to/postman-for-documentation-in-dotkernel-api-3/

Once the documentation files described in the article are imported, you can generate/refresh access tokens and send requests to the endpoints.

I'll create a new page in the API documentation on the entire flow.
