Authentication

Logs user into Medium One API and produces login cookies to identify the user's logged in state. The cookies must be passed in with subsequent requests to the other API endpoints. If no_cookies is specified, the returned token must be saved and from then on, token=<RETURNED TOKEN> must be added to the URL parameters for each following request.

Note: Cookie sessions last for 24 hours.
