API tokens

Home / Knowledge Base / General / API tokens

API tokens allow you to access WEMASY programmatically. This is an advanced feature intended for developers who want to integrate WEMASY with other tools or automate tasks.

What is an API token?

An API token is a unique string of characters that acts as an authentication credential. Instead of using your email and password, external applications use this token to securely communicate with WEMASY on your behalf.

API tokens are commonly used for:

  • Integrating WEMASY with third-party tools and services.
  • Automating repetitive tasks through scripts.
  • Building custom workflows that interact with your WEMASY project data.

How to create an API token

API tokens are managed in your project settings.

  1. Open your project in WEMASY.
  2. Go to Project settings.
  3. Navigate to the API access section.
  4. Click the button to create a new API token.
  5. Give your token a descriptive name so you can identify its purpose later.
  6. Click Create to generate the token.

Note: Your API token will only be displayed once at the time of creation. Copy it immediately and store it in a secure location. You will not be able to view the full token again.

Managing your API tokens

You can view a list of your existing API tokens in the API access section. From here you can:

  • See the name and creation date of each token.
  • Revoke tokens that are no longer needed.

Revoking a token immediately disables it. Any application or script using that token will no longer be able to access WEMASY.

Security best practices

  • Never share your API tokens publicly or include them in source code repositories.
  • Use a separate token for each integration so you can revoke access individually if needed.
  • Revoke tokens you no longer use.
  • Treat API tokens like passwords. Anyone with your token can access your project data.

Tip: If you suspect a token has been compromised, revoke it immediately and create a new one.
