Decode Token

Validate a token without requiring the transmission of a secret passphrase.

Request:

  • requestType is decodeToken
  • website is the signed text, typically an authorized URL
  • token is the token generated by Generate Token.

Response:

  • account (S) is the account number that generated the token
  • accountRS (S) is the Reed-Solomon address of the account
  • timestamp (N) is the time (in seconds since the genesis block) that the token was created
  • valid (B) is true if token is valid, false otherwise
  • requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)
