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 | Account username. |
| password | Account password. |
This endpoint always returns JSON encoded data. If authentication was successful, it will return 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.
