How to get API Token for Clover Native App?

Hi there, is it possible to somehow get an API Token when a Merchant installs our app without asking the Merchant to login in our landing page? Our native Clover App authorizes in our back-end by device serial, and we need to get the device serial via API to configure our back-end. And to access the API we need the Token.

Yes, you are able to get an API token as a native android app. You can find sample code of how to do this here: https://github.com/clover/clover-android-sdk/blob/master/clover-android-sdk-examples/src/main/java/com/clover/android/sdk/examples/WebServiceActivity.java#L111-L115

Thank you! We'll try this. Does the token have lifetime limitation?

The API tokens last a year, or until you uninstall the App. If you uninstall then reinstall the App you will have to get a new API Token.
