About authenticity_token

[medmin]

Hi where do you get the authenticity_token? It seems you have got it before the example code so that you can use it in the example.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I actually can get the authenticity_token from the source code of the "https://github.com/login" page. But it seems to become invalid soon after I get it.

@medmin did you figure this out? I have the same question - what do you use for the authenticity token?
