but if you really wanted a ticket you can get one via this request .
THis come in handy if you want to send an email notification with a link that expires.
https://<em>target_domain</em>/db/main?a=API_Authenticate&username=PTBarnum<br>&password=TopSecret&hours=24<br>

Placing a URL in an email that includes a username and password is a very bad idea as it needlessly exposes the credentials to future discovery and use. In practical terms, the only place to use API_Authenticate is use from a server or some other place outside the browser.
