| Sep 14, 2018 at 10:50 | comment | added | Andy Tilston | That's great, thanks Sid. I've now been able to work this out. Out of interest what's the reasoning behind having to pass these tokens around? | |
| Sep 14, 2018 at 10:49 | comment | added | Sid | I think only delete requires the token and create booking does not has token in body, it requires all booking related data in body. I have attached screenshot for token creation and my bad i have mentioned there token generated in create booking API, it is separate API as mentioned in above comments. [edited my answer as well :) ] | |

| Sep 14, 2018 at 10:36 | comment | added | Andy Tilston | Thanks Sid. And then do I then need to add this token when I create a booking, and then delete it later on? If you could provide screenshots of the flow you used that would help with my understanding | |
| Sep 14, 2018 at 10:30 | comment | added | Sid | Hi @Andy use this API to get the token for your User restful-booker.herokuapp.com/apidoc/… | |
