Use personal access tokens

Personal access tokens let scripts or API clients act with the access granted to your account.

Create a token​

  1. Open the profile menu and find the token controls.
  2. Choose the token-creation action.
  3. Give the token a name that identifies its device or purpose.
  4. Create the token.
  5. Copy it immediately and store it in a password manager or secret store.

HiveAware may show the full token only once.

Send an authenticated request​

Use the token as a bearer value in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

Do not place tokens in URLs, screenshots, shared command history, documentation, or source control.

Revoke a token​

Return to the token list and revoke any token that is unused, lost, exposed, or tied to a retired integration. Confirm the integration can no longer authenticate.

Open API documentation​

When API documentation is enabled for your organization, an API action appears in the application menu. Open it to review the available endpoints and request shapes.

Browser sessions can authorize same-site API exploration. External clients should use a personal access token and the documented API base URL.
