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

Preamble

• Authentication tokens or tokens are used to verify the identity of the application and grant it specific permissions to interact securely 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 define 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

At the time of creating an API token, you will be able to choose the application and the scope accessible by the token (to match your current need and project).

To do this:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click the blue button Create a token.
3. Choose from the drop-down menu the appropriate product according to your current need and project.
4. Choose a validity period.
5. Click 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.
