Generate Server API Tokens to integrate Expert with your server or backend application.

Navigate to the API Token Management Dashboard

Navigate to Site tools > Dashboard > Integrations > API Token Management.
If you cannot find an API token Management link on the Integrations dashboard, contact your Customer Success Manager to enable the feature.

Generate a Server API Token

<developer-token type="{type}" >
    <key>{key}</key>
    <name>{name}</name>
    <restricted-by-user-id>{user_id}</restricted-by-user-id>
</developer-token>

In the Add an API token section, select the Server radio button.
Enter a Name for the token that is easy to track and manage.
Click Generate API token.
Record the API token information and copy your API token secret to a safe location.

Do not close the API Token created window without copying and recording your secret. Your API Token key will not function without your secret, and your secret will no longer be accessible once the window is closed. Both the key and the secret are necessary for integrating with the Expert API, so do not lose them.
