Create an API token
To create an API token, perform the following steps:
- Click Create. The Create API Token interface will appear.
- Enter a unique name in the API Token Name text box.
Note:
- An API token name can only contain up to 50 characters.
- You can only enter letters (
a-zandA-Z), numbers (0-9), dashes (-), and underscores (_).
- Select one of the following options from the Should the API Token Expire? section:
- The API Token will not expire. — This will create a token that does not have an expiration date.
- Specify an expiration date. — This allows you to create a token that expires on a specific date. By default, tokens expire one year from the current date.
Important:
- You cannot edit an API token expiration date after creation.
- When an API token expires, the system will not remove it. You must manually delete an API token.
4. Click Create. A new interface will appear.
- To copy the API token, click Copy. Think of this token as a password. You must enter this token each time that you use it.
- You must keep a copy and keep this token in a safe place.
Warning: You cannot access the token after you navigate away from the interface. If you forget or misplace this token, you must revoke the token and then create a new one.
5. Click Yes, I Saved My Token.
- To create a new token, select the Create another token after I click Yes, I saved my token checkbox.
- To return to the List API Tokens interface, deselect the Create another token after I click Yes, I saved my token checkbox.
