# Request a federation token for a remote group

Proxies a federation token request to a remote group server. The server signs the request on behalf of the authenticated user using HTTP Signatures. Returns a short-lived token that can be used for direct API calls to the remote group server. Only works for remote (federated) groups; local groups return an error. The user must be a member of the target group. Authentication is required.
