To provide authorized access for your user, your application should obtain a user token (the Link token) from the /users endpoint. This is a single use, short-lived token which is used to initialize our Wink Widget.

Time of expiry is included when a token is generated. You may also listen for events from the SDK when the token has expired (see below).

Your server or application should generate a new Link token for the user each time you wish to launch the widget.

Refreshing a User's Token

You can refresh a user's token by calling the /tokens endpoint. Simply pass the userId of the user as a parameter in the query to give the user a new token.
