Description jeblad 2012-05-30 17:50:17 UTC 
The user can be logged out due to several reasons and then the token will be illegal and use of it will lead to a session failure. In ApiSetItem this is reported as a no-token -error which is wrong. When this happens the error message should be intercepted and the user logged in again. Preferably without the user loosing any on-going changes.

A guess is that a small popup window asking for user credentials should be sufficient, and after logging in the user through the ordinary API the Wikibase API can be queried for new token(s).
Comment 1 denny vrandecic 2012-06-21 13:17:58 UTC 
API needs to return new token on session loss. AJAX calls should recognize that error, replace the token, and let the editor retry (could even automatically retry).
Comment 2 denny vrandecic 2012-06-21 13:20:40 UTC 
A new session might be needed as well.
