Autocomplete Token API
When is this needed?
This token step is only required when calling the Autocomplete REST API directly. If you use the SmartMaps Autocomplete Library, token management is handled automatically.
The Autocomplete Token API allows you to generate an authentication token required for using the autocomplete functionality.
