Retrieving a ConnectToken

A ConnectToken is how the NewCraft Authenticator associates an account connection with your NewCraft Account. To retrieve a Connect Token, you will make a POST request with your client_id and client_secret to api/v1/connect_tokens/create. The ConnectToken is good for a single authentication request with the NewCraft Authenticator and has an expiration time of 30 minutes from the time of issuance. If a user is connecting multiple accounts, you will need a unique ConnectToken to connect each account.

You’ll start with securely passing the ConnectToken to your client and using similar code as follows
