In v1, every API call used a personal token with the full permissions of its owner.

Create a personal token#

Go to Account → Tokens and click Generate. Tokens never expire unless revoked.

Shell

curl https://api.acme.example/v1/apps?token=YOUR_TOKEN

Warning

Tokens in query strings can end up in logs. v2 API keys use the Authorization header instead.
