Tokens

Think of an API token as your simple digital key to use Pulsetic's tools. It proves it's you when you want to get info or make changes. Without it, you can't access things.

Why Tokens are Important

Tokens keep your account safe. You don't need to type your password every time you use the tools.

How Pulsetic Tokens Work

• Pulsetic uses tokens to check if it's really you trying to use its features.
• When you want to connect, you put your special token in the "Authorization" part of your request – like showing your ID. Pulsetic checks this token to see if you have permission.
• Tokens say exactly what you're allowed to do. Some let you see info, others let you change settings. Almost every time you use Pulsetic's tools through code, you'll need a token.
• Tokens are safer than passwords. They're like temporary keys you can turn off if needed, without changing your main password. This keeps your account safe and easy to manage.
• Pulsetic uses tokens to keep your data safe while letting you use its tools with code.

Step-by-Step: Where to Find Your Pulsetic API Token

1. Log in to your Pulsetic account using your web browser.
2. Once you're logged in, navigate to the API page.
3. Scroll down to the API Keys section.
4. Click the + API key button to generate a new key.
5. Click on the Generate API Key.  Clicking this will instantly add a new row to your API key management table.
6. Your key will appear in the table listing its Name, masked Key preview (e.g., 33fea0••••••••f7b4  ), Created date, Last request timestamp, and Expires status.
7. Carefully copy this token. It's important to copy the entire token accurately to ensure your integrations authenticate successfully.

How to Use Your Token

Put your token in the Authorization   part of your requests. It looks like this:

Authorization: your_api_token_here

Do this for all actions that need you to log in.

For easy ways to use your token, see the API Usage Examples.
