2. On a terminal window execute the curl command for the environment you selected.

Note:
- Depending on the environment you selected, the Base API URL may be different from the example. If so, replace the purple text with the correct Base API URL.
- If you are embedding the token REST messages into a programming language, create an HTTP message and place the same components from the curl example into either the message header or body.
- The <provider> element in blue in the example above is only used if you are planning on working on behalf of a data provider (ingesting). Client developers (searching) can leave it out.
- If you have special characters in your password, you will probably need to escape them using a backslash.
...
If you don't want to escape any characters, but still want to use curl - implement the "file input" option to create a file that looks like the following:

|---|---|---|

<token> <username>sample_username</username> <password>sample-password</password> <client_id>client_name_of_your_choosing</client_id> <user_ip_address>your_origin_ip_address</user_ip_address> <provider>Provider Id</provider></token> |
We used mytokengenerator.xml for the file name. Then, the full curl command looks a little bit different:

Note: if using a programming language, just place the curl example parts into the correct http message header or body locations.
Provided a successful response is received, an HTTP success status code of 200 is supplied with the response. Below is a sample response from the curl call - where the value in the ID tag is the token you will use as the value in the Echo-Token header:

<token> <id>75E5CEBE-6BBB-2FB5-A613-0368A361D0B6</id> <username>sample_username</username> <client_id>client_name_of_your_choosing</client_id> <user_ip_address>your_origin_ip_address</user_ip_address> <provider>Provider Id</provider></token> |
