Issue a session token

This action issues a session token for user authentication. Session tokens provide an efficient stateless authentication method by not storing the tokens in the Sendbird database, and thus improving the server's performance. See access token vs. session token to learn more about authenticating users.

Note: The endpoint /users/{user_id} is deprecated. Use /users/{user_id}/token for greater efficiency.

POST https://api-{application_id}.sendbird.com/v3/users/{user_id}/token
