As outlined in the [getting started guide](https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/getting-started), the basics to getting a user authenticated look like this: 1. **Create a new request token** 2. **Get the user to authorize the request token** 3. **Create a new session id with the authorized request token** Steps 1 and 3 should be fairly easy to understand, but let's walk through each to ensure clarity. ## Step 1: Create a request token The first step as a developer is to request a new token. This is a **temporary token** required to ask the user for permission to access their account. This token will automatically expire **after 60 minutes** if it's not used. ## Step 2: Ask the user for permission With a request token in hand, forward your user to the following URL: ``` https://www.themoviedb.org/authenticate/{REQUEST_TOKEN} ``` You can also pass this URL a `redirect_to` parameter, like so: ``` https://www.themoviedb.org/authenticate/{REQUEST_TOKEN}?redirect_to=http://www.yourapp.com/approved ``` Once the user has approved your request token, they will either be redirected to the URL you specified in the `redirect_to` parameter or to the `/authenticate/allow` path on TMDB. If they aren't redirected to a custom URL, the page will also include an `Authentication-Callback` header. This header contains the API call for step #3. You can either manually generate it or simply use the one we return. ## Step 3: Create a session ID By calling the **new session method** with the request token that has been approved by the user in Step 2, we will return a **new session_id**. This session can now be used to write user data. You should treat this key **like a password** and keep it secret. ## What about guest sessions? A **guest session** can be used to rate movies **without** requiring a registered TMDB user account. For more information about how to create a guest session, see [here](https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/authentication). - name: Certification - name: Changes - name: Collections - name: Companies - name: Configuration - name: Credits - name: Discover - name: Find - name: Genres - name: Guest Session - name: Keywords - name: List description: >- ## v3 or v4 list? πŸ˜• You may have noticed that the a v4 version of our list API exists.
