The API is being served on localhost on port 5000.

Create a user by posting to /users with username and password in JSON format

  '{"username":"test_user","password":"test_password"}' \
  http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/v0/users

Get a token by sending username/password using HTTP Basic authorization to /token

  curl -u <test_user>:<test_password> -i -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/v0/token

Cache token on client and send token in username field (Basic auth) on GET
requests to resource. The password field is unused. Token default expiration is
10 minutes; when request fails due to auth, get another token.

  curl -u <token_value>:"unused" -i -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/v0/users
