Authentication
==============
Token authentication must be performed to call APIs.
Authentication using tokens: General requests are authenticated using tokens.
Token-based Authentication
--------------------------
.. note::
The validity period of a token is 24 hours. When using a token for authentication, cache it to prevent frequently calling the IAM API used to obtain a user token.
A token specifies temporary permissions in a computer system. During API authentication using a token, the token is added to requests to get permissions for calling the API.

In :ref:`Making an API Request <gaussdb_03_0005>`, the process of calling the API used to `obtain a user token <https://docs.otc.t-systems.com/en-us/api/iam/en-us_topic_0057845583.html>`__ is described.
After a token is obtained, add the **X-Auth-Token** header field must be added to requests to specify the token when calling other APIs. For example, if the token is **ABCDEFJ....**, **X-Auth-Token: ABCDEFJ....** can be added to a request as follows:
::
Content-Type: application/json
X-Auth-Token: ABCDEFJ....
