Unable to get devices and add devices through through api using token in traccar 4.12

When I try to get devices using my token it give an unauthorized error
but when I called it from the web where traccar is configured it uses some Jsession id i think
when I get JSESSONID from api it doesn't work

Please provide more details on how you're trying to use it.

   $curl = curl_init();

   curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
      CURLOPT_URL => 'http://traccar.example.com/api/devices?token=8ZnQ1vU6xKxLqQIW6fLXVZw6KdXCkYQS',
      CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
      CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
      CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
      CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
      CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
      CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
      CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'GET',
      CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
         'Content-Type: application/json',
      ),
   ));

   $response = curl_exec($curl);

   curl_close($curl);
   echo $response;

Response:

HTTP 401 Unauthorized - WebApplicationException (SecurityRequestFilter:113 < ...)

Yeah, you can't use the token that way. You have to create a session first.

can you please share the endpoint to create a session?

Have you read our API documentation?

yeah but my version is 4.12 in new docs they said to use username:pass but can we do that with out basic auth?

Have you read this?

https://www.traccar.org/traccar-api/

yes, I call the endpoint of api/session?token=8ZnQ1vU6xKxLqQIW6fLXVZw6KdXCkYQS

I got this response

{"id":4,"attributes":{},"name":"test.allotrac","login":"","email":"test@allotrac.com.au","phone":"","readonly":false,"administrator":false,"map":"","latitude":0.0,"longitude":0.0,"zoom":0,"twelveHourFormat":false,"coordinateFormat":"","disabled":false,"expirationTime":null,"deviceLimit":-1,"userLimit":0,"deviceReadonly":false,"token":"8ZnQ1vU6xKxLqQIW6fLXVZw6KdXCkYQS","limitCommands":false,"poiLayer":"","password":null}

Now what to do?

Then you use the session cookie for your next requests.

Do you mean JSESSIONID which is in the response of the server header?

Yes.
