Web Services

API session management enhancements

You can now initiate a new top-level session from an entity-level session using an existing session ID. To do this, call getAPISession with an empty locationid parameter:

<request>
  <control>
    ...
  <operation>
    <authentication>
      <sessionid>entityPrivateSessionId..</sessionid>
    </authentication>
    <content>
      <function controlid="testControlId">
        <getAPISession>
          <locationid/>
        </getAPISession>
      </function>
    </content>
  </operation>
</request>

You should always isolate getAPISession in a single request—do not mix getAPISession with other functions.

API session timeout information now available

The response for each API call now includes the projected session timeout in the authentication element:

<authentication>
    <status>success</status>
    <userid>myUserID</userid>
    <companyid>myCompanyID</companyid>
    <locationid></locationid>
    <sessiontimestamp>2019-03-28T13:14:34-07:00</sessiontimestamp>
    <sessiontimeout>2019-03-29T13:14:34-07:00</sessiontimeout>
</authentication>

The session timeout is calculated based on the session duration specified for the user or company plus the current time. A timeout occurs if the session timeout is reached before any subsequent API calls are made. If a call occurs before the projected timeout, it is reset to the current time plus the session duration.
