Personal Tokens

Last modified: 31 January 2023

Personal tokens is one of the two ways supported by Space to authenticate and authorize API requests sent by external applications to Space to retrieve and manipulate data.

  • You can create a personal token in your Space account and then provide it to your external application.

  • Your personal token authenticates the external application on your behalf.

  • When creating a token, you can grant it a limited set of permissions, restricting access to data and actions. You can only assign permissions that you have yourself.

  • Your personal token is a permanent token, i.e. it never expires. Nonetheless, you can revoke and replace it at any time should you suspect unauthorized access or as a preventive measure.
