Magento 2 API – Generate Customer Token Using Customer ID

Hello there, Magento developers! Today, I would like to present a module for a personalized Magento 2 API to generate customer token using customer ID. This module can be useful for those who are building an application based on Magento 2 and need to regenerate a customer's token from the admin side.

Here's the backstory:

One day, a colleague approached me and asked, "Is there a way to generate a customer token using their ID through the Magento 2 API?" He was developing an Android app and wanted to maintain the customer's session active based on their activity. The easiest approach would have been to increase the token expiration time indefinitely, but that would have been unfeasible from a security standpoint.

So, we decided to build a custom Magento 2 REST API that could be utilized to regenerate the token before its expiration and keep the session active.

In this post, I'll share the entire module for the custom API and explain how to use it.
