API Token Managament

API Token Managament

API tokens are essential for authenticating your requests to the Miqey API. This section covers how to create, manage, and use API tokens securely through the web interface.

Creating API Tokens

Generate new API tokens through the account management interface. These tokens provide secure access to the API and can be customized with descriptive names for easy identification.

  1. Navigate to Profile Page: Go to https://app.miqey.com/app/{application_id}/account-management in your web browser

  2. API Tokens Section: Look for the "API Tokens" section

  3. Generate New Token:

  • Enter a descriptive name for your token (e.g., "API Testing", "Production API")

  • Click "Generate Token"

  • Important: Copy the generated token immediately as it will only be shown once

Manage API Tokens

Monitor and control your API tokens through the web interface. This includes viewing usage statistics and revoking tokens when they're no longer needed.

View Existing Tokens

  • All your API tokens are listed in the profile page

  • You can see:

  • Token name

  • Creation date

  • Last used date (if applicable)

Revoke Tokens

  • Click the "Revoke" button next to any token

  • Confirm the revocation

  • The token will be immediately invalidated

Using API Tokens

Include your API token in the Authorization header of all API requests to authenticate your calls and access the API endpoints.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your_api_token_here" \

     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

     https://app.miqey.com/api

Security Best Practices

Follow these guidelines to maintain the security of your API tokens and protect your account from unauthorized access.

  1. Keep tokens secure: Never share API tokens in public repositories or logs

  2. Use descriptive names: Name your tokens clearly to identify their purpose

  3. Rotate regularly: Regenerate tokens periodically for security

  4. Revoke unused tokens: Remove tokens that are no longer needed

  5. Use HTTPS: Always make API requests over HTTPS
