Hi Roan, I have put the edit token through the php urlencode function which converts the token to the following format, 771ceb39a33469b2a87873ef26b75b82%2B%5C. This has stopped the invalid token error being sent. But now there is another issue. Rather than the response being the standard response the API is responding only with a 1. As opposed to the appropriate PHP data structure.
