ZoomInfo Authentication API
The ZoomInfo API authenticates client access requests using a JSON Web Token (JWT). A JWT is a string that is generated by the server for the client that can then be passed along in an HTTPS request.**Note**: The Authenticate endpoint is one method for authenticating with the ZoomInfo API with a username and password. For other methods that utilize public libraries for Java, Python, and NodeJS, see the 'Authentication methods' section in the [ZoomInfo API introduction](#intro).To obtain the token, the client exchanges valid user credentials with the server which generates the token and provides it back to the client. An access token generally has a set expiration time after which a new token will need to be requested by the client.Use the Authenticate endpoint to pass valid ZoomInfo user credentials to the API. If authentication is successful, a JWT access token is provided in the response body.**Important: The token is good for 60 minutes from the time that the response was generated.*** **Do not generate a new JWT with every call/request.*** **As a best practice to keep the session active, refresh the JWT every 55 minutes.**
