            'timestamp': timestamp,

Hi Geoff Singer,

This is fine but for logging one message we are making two API one to describe and get the token
and second one to actually log the request.

But when we do actually log the request using put_log_events() we get the token in that response only
Is there anyway we can use that token itself?
