Ex:  2015-03-25T12:00:00Z\r\n\r\n***\r\n\r\n## Security\r\n\r\nThe API is secured using an API token.\r\n\r\n**How to generate an API Access Token**  \r\n 1. Open your [account settings page](https://app.kiflo.com/account/integration)\r\n 2. Go to the \"API Access Token\" section\r\n 3. Click \"Add\" button\r\n 4.
