SOAP API method WebSite_createWebSession

Description

To register impressions and clicks, and to process webforms and surveys, you need a websession object that holds session information. This method can be used to construct a new session object. The ID of the returned object should be used for retrieving the same session object in subsequent calls. It is best to use a cookie for storing the session ID so that subsequent calls can use the same session object.
