### Prerequisites:
- Have your Live Account Reseller ID (auth-userid).  
- Have your API key (api-key).  
- Know the Reseller ID of the Sub-Reseller (resellerid).

### Steps:
1) Construct a GET request to the endpoint:  
   `https://test.httpapi.com/api/resellers/authenticate/generate-otp.json`  
2) Include the following query parameters:  
   - `auth-userid`: Your Live Account Reseller ID (integer).  
   - `api-key`: Your authentication API key (string).  
   - `resellerid`: The Sub-Reseller&#39;s Reseller ID (integer).  
3) Send the GET request.  
4) Check the response:  
   - If the response is the boolean value `true`, the OTP has been generated successfully.  
   - If there is an error, the response will contain a key `status` with the value `ERROR` and an accompanying error message.

### Summary:
To generate a one-time password for a sub-reseller, send a GET request to the specified API endpoint with your reseller ID, API key, and the sub-reseller’s reseller ID. A true response confirms successful OTP generation.

### Evaluation Pairs:

**Q:** What parameters are required to generate an OTP for a sub-reseller via the API?  
**A:** You need `auth-userid` (your Live Account Reseller ID), `api-key` (your API key), and `resellerid` (Sub-Reseller’s Reseller ID).

**Q:** What HTTP method should be used to request OTP generation?  
**A:** The GET method should be used for the OTP generation request.

**Q:** What indicates a successful OTP generation in the API response?  
**A:** The API returns `true` (Boolean) if the OTP token is successfully generated. If there is an error, it returns a `status` key with value `ERROR` and an error message.
