GetSigninToken

Summary

Returns token information when signed in to ArcGIS.com or a local portal.

Discussion

The GetSigninToken function will return the token and expiration information when signed in to a portal. This function should be used within a desktop application, either from the Python window or a script tool executed from within the application as it returns the token from the desktop session. If run from a stand-alone script, or the application is not signed in, the function will return None. The token can be used by urllib calls to authenticate with ArcGIS.com services through REST.
