# Agent Login

This call will return the API token, API User ID and API Account ID, which can then be used on subsequent calls.

This routine is intended to be used when you wish to have the system create and issue a new API Token, API User ID and API Account ID. This routine authenticates first that the agent is an active agent in your system (based on the expiry date of their account).
