Hi, I'm trying to make a HTML5/Jquery app to use against The Movie Database API. So far so good, havn't had a single problem.

But I would like to understand the process of athenticating the user a bit better, cause I'm suspecting that I am doing it wrong to some degree.

As of now I:

request token 2b. authenticate with login
create a new session
do stuff... (using https: https://api.themoviedb.org/3)

However, I'm doing it this way every time. Is the token, when validated with login once, a substitute for username and password for that user forever? If so I could just store the authenticated token localy and use the preffered 2a-method the next time? The expires_at:"..." parameter makes me confused.

Yes, I'm a novice :) You were to once.

Regards, me.

The token is just for validation. If a account has been successfully validated, you only need the session_id and append it to your request.

"The results of this query will return a session_id value. You should treat this value like a password. Store it securely. This is the value required in all of our write methods."

There's this document that helps explain the required steps as well: https://www.themoviedb.org/documentation/api/sessions

Cheers.
