Admins in Device Rescue can create API Tokens to securely connect and integrate external systems with your Device Rescue account. API Tokens allow programmatic access to the API without needing a username and password.
đź”’ Only Admin users can create and manage API Tokens.
How to Create an API Token
-
Go to Account Settings → Webhooks & API → API Tokens
-
Click Add API Token
-
Enter a Token Name (something descriptive, like “My Cool App” or “Internal Integration”)
-
Choose a Token Environment:
-
Test – Use this for development or sandbox environments (does not count toward daily API usage but still has a per-minute rate limit)
-
Production – Use this for live integrations (counts toward your daily API usage limit)
-
-
Click Create Token
Once created, your token will be displayed one time. Be sure to copy and save it securely—you won’t be able to view it again later.
Important Notes About Tokens
-
You can create multiple tokens for different applications or systems
-
Test Tokens do not consume daily usage but are still rate-limited to 60 requests per minute
-
Production Tokens contribute to your daily API usage limit (resetting at midnight UTC)
-
If needed, you can revoke tokens at any time to disable API access
🛡️ Reminder: Treat API Tokens like passwords. Keep them private and rotate them periodically for security.
Best Practices
-
Give each token a clear, descriptive name
-
Use separate tokens for different applications or departments
-
Regularly review and revoke unused tokens
đź“„ Tip: Always generate a new token if you suspect a token was exposed or compromised.
