This guide concerns the authentication tokens or tokens, which are used to verify the identity of the application and to grant it specific permissions to interact securely with the features and data of the API.

Preamble

• Authentication tokens or tokens serve to verify the application's identity and grant it specific permissions to securely interact with the features and data of the Infomaniak API.
• There is no limit to the number of tokens you can create.
• The duration of an access token is "unlimited" by default, but it is possible to set a custom duration at its creation.
• Warning, if no call is made with the token for a year, it is automatically deactivated; it will then be necessary to generate a new one.

Manage Infomaniak API tokens

When creating an API token, you will be able to select the application and the scope accessible by the token (to match your current needs and project).

For this:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Manager Infomaniak (need help?).
2. Click the blue button Create a token.
3. Select the appropriate product from the dropdown menu according to your current need and project.
4. Choose a validity period.
5. Click on the blue button Create a token.
6. Enter the password to log in to the Manager as requested.
7. Copy the token to a safe place - it will no longer be accessible after that.
