API Response Header¶

The following is a header data example of an API response from an API request not using Basic Auth:

The Set-Cookie header entries with csrftoken and sessionid have SameSite=Lax; set to defend against Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
The X-Session header entry has the following properties:
- max_age: The number of seconds remaining for the session.
- expiry: The date at which the session will expire.
- extendable: Boolean indicating if the client can extend the length of the session by triggering an API request.
This information is also available from a POST call to the following endpoint:
```
POST <hostname>/api/session/keep_alive/
```
An example response JSON payload:
```
{
  max_age: 86296
  extendable: false
  expiry: "2015-03-18T10:24:53.059Z"
}
```
Refer to the section: Time to Live (TTL)
