Overview

Update user authentication token, used for user re-login or token refresh scenarios.

Request Body

Required Parameters

uid · string · required

Unique user ID for communication, can be random uuid (recommended to use your server’s unique user uid) (required by WuKongIMSDK)

token · string · required

Verification token, random uuid (recommended to use your server’s user token) (required by WuKongIMSDK)

device_flag · integer · required

Device identifier: 0=app, 1=web, 2=desktop (main devices with same user and same device flag will kick each other, secondary devices will coexist)

Optional Parameters

device_level · integer

Device level: 0=secondary device, 1=main device

Best Practices

1. Token Security: Ensure tokens have sufficient complexity and uniqueness
2. Device Identification: Properly set device_flag to distinguish different device types
3. Permission Control: Use device_level to implement permission control for different devices
4. Regular Refresh: Implement regular token refresh mechanism
5. Multi-device Management: Generate different tokens for different devices for easier management and revocation
