Login with Username and Password

This method is called for getting access to the account with the help of username and password. Here we have an object credentials that contains user login and password.

import GudHub from '@gudhub/core';
const gudhub = new GudHub();
let credentials = {
    username : "login",
    password : "password"
}

gudhub.login(credentials);

In response, we get an object with access information:

{
    "accesstoken": "juirlqoyndjcxkljgcadsldvag_hnvzieubb.eio",
    "app_init": 26749,
    "auth_key": "bMfVNw8yvJHGjJVHJghkgye3dkuy89dgZIzvXLn3KjqbMQ+B5wOA3gKssFzPPDMhhnVk",
    "expirydate": 1633974987485,
    "fullname": "John Dow",
    "user_id": 1354,
    "username": "john@dow.com",
}

Login with auth_key

This is the second method that allows to get access. It takes the authentication key as sn argument. Due to this method you automatically use most of the other methods.

import {GudHub} from '@gudhub/gudhub';
const gudhub = new GudHub(auth_key);

In response it returns a JSON object:

{
    "accesstoken": "jikwkolpe_ba.fgergwed-n-_wjm.thstngje_-_v",
    "app_init": 26502,
    "auth_key": "NWfWIMAcjdskKJNKJB;,DLAKNkjhsiouoiiugtyRUTIU8967rgsja82jjKC+Ya/zNSGF4VKUq25\n1JqIf/mZXA==",
