# Authentication

### Authenticating and Obtaining a Token 

To authenticate and receive an authorization token, make a POST request to the following address

```
https://dashboard.qntv.io/api/signin/ 
```

### Request

Request should have a JSON body containing your email and password.

```json
{
    "email":"you@youremail.com",
    "password":"yourpassword"
}
```

### **Response**

* **Successful Authentication (200 OK)**: The response will include a JSON with the user's token and details.
* **Failed Authentication (401 Unauthorized)**: Indicates incorrect credentials.

```json
{
    "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6...",
    "user": {
        "ID": 1,
        "userID": 1,
        "createdAt": "2023-05-15T08:52:09.15693Z",
        "updatedAt": "2023-05-15T08:52:09.163817Z",
        "DeletedAt": null,
        "accountID": 1,
        "name": "You",
        "email": "you@youremail.com",
        "status": 1,
        "role": 1
    }

```

     -d '{"email": "you@youremail.com", "password": "yourpassword"}'

```

#### Python Example

```python
import requests
import json

url = "https://dashboard.qntv.io/api/signin/"
data = {"email": "you@youremail.com", "password": "yourpassword"}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
