API tokens (personal access tokens) let scripts and integrations call the Pixwel API as you. Manage them on the API Tokens tab in Preferences.
A token acts on your behalf with your full account permissions. Treat it like a password — the value is shown only once, when you create it.
Creating a token
- Enter a Name that describes where it’s used (for example
ci-deploy).
- Choose an Expires in period — 30, 60, 90, 180, or 365 days.
- Click Create token.
The full token is then shown once, along with a ready-to-use Authorization: Bearer … header. Copy it immediately and store it somewhere safe — you won’t be able to see it again.
Managing active tokens
The Active tokens table lists your existing tokens:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|
| Name | The name you gave the token. |
| Token | A non-secret prefix (for example pat_9756bb3b…) so you can tell tokens apart. |
| Last used | When the token last made a request (or — if never). |
| Expires | When the token stops working. |
