    Transcribed by API Evangelist from Broadlume''s own published developer portal at https://developer.broadlume.com/bms — paths, methods, parameters and response fields are taken verbatim from that reference. Broadlume acquired RollMaster in November 2021, which is why the documented base URL remains api.rmaster.com.'

      description: Authenticate the user with the system and obtain the token. Token is used for all subsequent API calls. Sessions will expire based on a server specified timeout period. In order to use a session for long term use the token(keepalive) endpoint to keep the session token active. All calls will update and refresh the last active time of a token, so a keepalive call is only necessary when idle. Idle time is a default of 5 minutes.
