Create an API Token
Generate an API token to authenticate your requests to the LimAI API.
Creating Your API Token
API tokens allow you to authenticate requests to the LimAI API from your applications and scripts.
Step 1: Open User Settings
Click on your avatar in the bottom-left corner of the LimAI dashboard and select Settings.
Step 2: Navigate to Secret Tokens
In the settings panel, click on the Secret Tokens tab to view and manage your API tokens.
Step 3: Create a New Token
Click Create Token. Give your token a descriptive name that identifies its purpose (e.g., "Production API", "CI/CD Pipeline").
Step 4: Copy Your Token
After creation, your token will be displayed once. Copy it immediately and store it securely -- you will not be able to see it again.
Token Security
- Store tokens in environment variables, never in source code
- Rotate tokens periodically
- Use separate tokens for different environments (development, staging, production)
- Revoke tokens immediately if they are compromised
Token Scoping
Each API token is scoped to your organization. Any request made with the token has access to all projects within your organization that your user account can access.
