API Token
The API token is only displayed once. If you lose your token, you'll need to update it to generate a new one. Updating a token invalidates the previous one and requires you to update any services that use it.
Once created, the API Token will be displayed.
Click the Copy icon to copy the token and then save it securely. You won't be able to view it again.
Click Close.
The token you created is now listed in the API Tokens table.
