Tokens API v1 - POST token lookup

This API is deprecated. Use the Access tokens API instead.

Lists metadata of a Dynatrace API authentication token by the token itself.

Alternatively, you can retrieve metadata by submitting the ID of the token with the GET token metadata call.

The request consumes and produces an application/json payload.
