# 3. Generate a Token For a New Password

## Introduction

This POST endpoint enables you to generate a token using the confirmation code received during the [first step](/rest-api/trading-api/password-reset/1.-reset-traders-password.md) of the password reset process.

There are three required parameters that must be provided in the request:

1. **Et-App-Key** (header). This is the unique key of your app that identifies your app when communicating with our service. Contact your administrator to get this key.
2. **API version** (path). Unless necessary, leave it at "1.0".
3. **resource** (body). This is a JSON file that contains the confirmation code from the email.

### Request Body

| Parameter | Description                                             |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Code      | This is the confirmation code from the following email: |

```javascript
{
  "Code": "741175"
}
```

Here's the final template for this API request:

```
POST apiURL/v1.0/users/password/reset/code
```

## Response

In response to this API request, you will receive a JSON file either confirming successful token generation or enumerating errors that occurred in the process.

```javascript
{
  "Model": "ba6b8cac-6738-4434-bd26-825db020a05c",
  "Errors": [],
  "IsSucceed": true
}
```

The `Model` parameter contains the token that must be provided in the [final step](/rest-api/trading-api/password-reset/3.-update-the-password.md) of the password reset process.

## Common Mistakes

Here are some of the common mistakes that developers make when attempting to generate a token for password reset.

### Failing to Specify the Et-App-Key Parameter

If you specify the wrong Et-App-Key parameter or fail to include it in the header altogether, you'll get the following error:

```javascript
{
    "error": "Application key is not defined or does not exist"
}
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://api-documentation.autoshares.dev/rest-api/trading-api/password-reset/2.-generate-a-token-for-a-new-password.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
