Best Practice

For saving the API Token we recommend to use a password manager. If you do nat have a password manager in use yet, you can choose one from this List.

After setting up the Token it will appear in the list of the API Tokens section.

You can now use the API Token to communicate via the defined API Endpoints. You will find more detailed information about the endpoint in our API Guide.

Manage Personal API Token

If your API Tokens expire you either have the chance to set up a new Token following the steps above or extend the expiration date of the Token in place. To do so click on the right Token from you list.

Afterward, you will be able to adapt the name and expiration date of the token.
