    User Navigation
     menu that displays when you click your name.
  2. In the
    Integrations
     section, click
    Generate Token
     to access the API tokens page.
  3. Click
    Generate New Token
    .
  4. Enter a description for the token.
  5. Click
    Generate Token
    .
    This is the only time that you can see your token, so copy and save it somewhere safe.
You have 3 API tokens:
  • Company
  • Personal
  • Reporting connector
You can use your reporting connector token to connect your data with Power BI or Tableau. Your company and personal API tokens are transactional tokens.
On the API Tokens page, you can delete existing tokens and create new ones.
