# 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",
