MAFINT API tokens

MAFINT API tokens are used to authenticate requests to MAFINT APIs. When calling an MAFINT API endpoint, you need to supply a valid API token in the HTTP Authorization header, with a valid token specified as the header value. You need to prefix the value with the JWT identifier, which specifies the proprietary authentication scheme that MAFINT uses. For example:

JWT eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9 ... XmzAoTG3K-zrg

*Note: the generated token will never be expired.
