## Example Usage

```javascript
const timestamp = Date.now().toString();
const body = {
    plyrId: 'player123',
    gameId: 'game123',
    otp: '123456', // 2FA token from authenticator app
    tokens: ['TOKEN1', 'TOKEN2'], // Token names to approve for spending
    amounts: [1000, 2000], // Amounts to approve
    expiresIn: 3600 // Session will expire in 1 hour
};

const hmac = generateHmacSignature(timestamp, body, secretKey);

const response = await axios.post(apiEndpoint + '/user/loginAndApprove', body, {
    headers: {
        apikey: apiKey,
        signature: hmac,
        timestamp: timestamp
    }
});

// Store session information securely
const {
    sessionJwt, // JWT token for future API calls
    plyrId, // Player's ID
    nonce, // Unique nonce for this session
    gameId, // Game identifier
    primaryAddress, // User's primary wallet address
    mirrorAddress // User's mirror wallet address
} = response.data;

// Use sessionJwt for subsequent authenticated API calls
// Token approval is already processed
```

{% hint style="info" %}
This endpoint combines login and token approval into a single atomic operation, making it more efficient than separate calls.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Store the session JWT securely and never expose it in client-side code or logs.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The approved amounts represent the maximum amounts that can be spent per token. The actual spending may be less.
{% endhint %}
