API Access and Token Generation

Developer Guide: Using Our API

Our REST API allows you to programmatically interact with your data, enabling custom integrations and automation.

Generating an API Token

To use the API, you first need to generate a personal access token. This token authenticates your requests.

1. Go to Settings > API & Developers.
2. Click the 'Generate New Token' button.
3. Give the token a descriptive name so you can remember its purpose (e.g., 'Nightly Backup Script').
4. Important: Copy the generated token and store it in a secure place. For security reasons, we will not show it to you again.

Making Your First API Call

You can test your token by making a simple request to the /users/me endpoint. Use a tool like cURL or Postman.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" https://api.example.com/v1/users/me

You should receive a JSON response containing your user information. For more details, please refer to our full API documentation.
