Terminal :computer:
Terminal service provides an interface to run terminal commands for terminal-enabled uAPI credentials.
PCC Emulation
You can use Terminal service to run commands on behalf of your own PCC
or to use emulatePcc option from auth
to run commands on behalf of other PCC using your own Service bureau.
In uapi terminals are not linked to the specific PCC and identified only by tokens.
That’s why, if the emulatePcc option is passed, we run SEM command behind the scene
to provide emulation for specific PCC.
Though you may still send SEM commands to the terminal on your own,
in order to not messthings up, we highly recommend you to use several terminal instances
for several PCC emulations.
See advanced emulation example to get an example on how to use emulation.
Session closing
Be aware to close the session after all your manipulations with the terminal.
Session closing takes the current token and sends a request to terminate the session, see close_session method.
