Isn't that the Proxmox API2 already? :-)

Jokes aside, exactly, but the validity works so, that it only get's 
invalid if not in use for 2 hours or when logging out.
So you could generate it and use it as long as valid, and if you didn't 
fire up an API call for 2 hours catch the invalid ticket error and 
request a new one.

Would be definitively the nicer and cleaner way, in my opinion.

If you plan to fire up a few thousands API calls it would be good if you 
can avoid generating a new ticket each time, else you have to try it 
(write a simple benchmark which loops on ticket generations and simple 
API calls to see how your server performs).
