# API tokens

API tokens let you authenticate with the Screendesk API to build custom recording experiences, integrate with your tools, or automate workflows.

{% hint style="info" %}
API access is available on the **Enterprise plan** only. Contact your Screendesk account team to enable it.
{% endhint %}

### Where to find your tokens

Navigate to **Profile → API** to view and manage your API tokens. Each token in the list shows its name, when it was last used, and when it was created.

### Creating a token

1. Go to **Profile → API**
2. Click **Create API Token**
3. Enter a name for the token (e.g. "Zapier integration" or "Internal dashboard")
4. Your new token is generated and ready to use

The token detail page displays the full token value with a copy button, along with ready-to-use examples for the HTTP header and a cURL request.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Keep your tokens secret.** Treat them like passwords. Never share them publicly or commit them to source control.
{% endhint %}

### Using a token

Include your token in the `Authorization` header of every API request:

```
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
```

For full endpoint documentation, see the [Screendesk API reference](https://docs.screendesk.io/api).

### Revoking a token

To revoke a token, open it from the list and click **Revoke**. This permanently deletes the token — any application using it will immediately lose access.

### Good to know

* Tokens do not expire unless revoked.
* Each token tracks the last time it was used, so you can spot unused tokens and clean them up.
* Watch-only users cannot create or use API tokens.
* Token creation and revocation are recorded in the audit log (when audit logs are enabled for your workspace).
