Generating an API token

P
Written by Product Team

You can generate an API token to use for xera's API. An API token has the same rights as the user that generated it.

To get your API token:

  1. Click on the Settings icon in the bottom left menu.

  2. Click on API token tab.

  3. Next, click Generate a token on the right.

⚠️Warning: To keep your API token secure, we'll only show it once, so please save it somewhere safe. If you lose your API token, you can regenerate a new one at any time. However, when generating a new token, you'll need to update your applications and replace the old token with the new one.


Access control for API tokens

xera supports multiple API tokens per organization(you can see them on the organization's settings page). An API label with an incremental number: API token-1, API token-2, etc is generated automatically.

If you want to revoke access for a specific token, you can use the status toggle to turn it off (and on again, if you want to reinstate access). You can also delete a token, if it's not used anymore or regenerate it. In the last case, make sure to update your applications with the new one.
