Set Up Your First API Token

Navigate to the Token page 🗂️

After logging in, open the Token menu in the sidebar. This is where all of your API keys live.

A fresh token is like a keycard for the API

Give your token a name 🏷️

A readable name like prod-webapp or staging-script helps you recognize the token later in the usage logs.

Configure limits (optional)

You can leave the quota unlimited or set a cap. Setting a quota is a great safety net for long-running jobs.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I set a quota on my token?

A quota caps how many credits a single token can spend, so a runaway script can never drain your balance.

Can I have multiple tokens?

Yes, create as many as you need, each with its own name, quota and expiry.

What if I lose my token?

Tokens are shown only once. If you lose it, delete the old one and create a replacement.

Is my token secret?

Yes. Treat it like a password — never put it in client-side code or share it publicly.
