Factorio's Web Authentication API endpoint gives you a token in exchange for your username and password, which is used by several other Factorio web API endpoints. The authentication endpoint is located at:
https://auth.factorio.com/api-login
Authentication requires sending an HTTP POST request with these parameters:
| username | Required. | Account username. |
| password | Required. | Account password. |
| api_version | Not required. | Currently 2. |
| require_game_ownership | Not required. | If set to 'true', will fail authentication if the user account hasn't actually purchased Factorio. |
This endpoint always returns JSON encoded data. If authentication was successful, it will return an HTTP status code of 200 with a JSON list containing a single item: the auth token. The auth token seems to always be a hexadecimal encoded 15-byte string of random bytes.
