Getting Started
1
Obtain Admin Access Token
Generate an admin access token from your console under Settings → Admin Users
2
Choose Authentication Method
Select between admin tokens for server operations or user tokens for user-context actions
3
Configure API Client
Set up your server environment with proper authentication and regional endpoints
4
Test Integration
Start with simple API calls to verify connectivity and permissions
Authentication Methods
Admin API Access Token
For server-to-server API calls with full administrative privileges:1
Generate Token
Navigate to Console → Settings → Security → Admin API Access Token
2
Configure Permissions
Set appropriate scopes and expiration for your integration
3
Secure Storage
Store the token securely and rotate regularly
Admin tokens provide full access to your application. Never expose them in client-side code or public repositories.
Token Management
Token Security Best Practices
Token Security Best Practices
- Secure Storage: Use environment variables or secure key management systems
- Regular Rotation: Implement automated token rotation procedures
- Scope Limitation: Use minimum required permissions for each token
- Monitoring: Log and monitor API usage patterns and anomalies
- Revocation: Implement emergency token revocation procedures
- HTTPS Only: Always use HTTPS for API communications
- IP Whitelisting: Implement IP restrictions where possible
Token Validation and Revocation
Token Validation and Revocation
Validate TokensRevoke User Access Tokens
Admin tokens can revoke user access tokens using the Revoke API:
Rate Limiting and Error Handling
Rate Limiting and Error Handling
Rate Limiting
- Respect API rate limits to avoid throttling
- Implement exponential backoff for retry logic
- Use batch operations when available for efficiency
- Cache responses appropriately to reduce API calls
- Implement comprehensive error handling for all API calls
- Log errors with sufficient detail for debugging
- Provide graceful degradation when APIs are unavailable
- Monitor API response times and success rates
