Now that we have a working API with tokenization, let's take the app we have been working on and make it set and retrieve the API using tokens.

In this tutorial, we will use AJAX to make a request to the API to secure a token that can be used to view the pages and header content. The token will be generated server-side and sent to our app to be stored within the browser session. This will ensure every hit to our API is from a secured source.
