Create a temporary authentication token for capture sessions. Use this to generate short-lived tokens for client-side SDK authentication without exposing your API key.
  • Tokens are short-lived and expire after the specified duration (default: 24 hours)
  • user_id identifies the end user for partner tracking
  • Use these tokens in client-side applications instead of your main API key
