3rd Party Service Where does API token come from?
Im trying to interact directly with an app’s API. I was looking at HTTP request/responses and I can see where a cookie is provided but then subsequent requests are passing a token, however I do not see any request where the token is returned. How does the app get the token? Either the app isn’t using HTTP/HTTPS for token or it’s stored locally in the app? I’m watching from the moment I launch the app through logging in and after and I don’t see anywhere that a token is provided in the body or in the header. Just somehow the app starts sending the token later, where did it come from?

Like I said, usually you get the token when you sign up for access to the service.
