All API commands require prior authentication. To authenticate use the auth command. Once authenticated the session is valid till the user is logged out or session times out.

Parameter	Notes
c	always set to auth
name	The user's name.
pass	The password.
logout	Logout and close the session, valid only if already logged in and the session is valid. If this parameter is used, the name and password values are irrelevant and ignored.
