Once the Trade API is activated from your Samco Star back office, your API credentials become available through the same portal. The authentication flow works as follows:

1. Use your Samco login credentials to request a session token via the login endpoint
2. The API returns a session token on successful authentication
3. Pass this token as a header with every subsequent API call to verify your identity

Tokens expire at the end of each trading session, so your script needs to re-authenticate at the start of each new trading day. This keeps your account access secure, no one can reuse an old token from a previous session.

If you ever need to reset or regenerate your credentials, that can be done from within the Samco Star back office without contacting support.
