session token

A session token is a short-lived authorization string that provides access to an ArcGIS service that supports sessions. It is created when a session starts and is valid for a maximum duration of 12 hours. It has limited privileges and can only access the service from which it was created. A session token can only be obtained by using a valid access token to start a session on a service that support sessions.

The only service that supports session tokens is the ArcGIS Basemap Styles service.

The only product that supports session tokens is ArcGIS Location Platform.
