Create an access token#

Use an account API token to connect Flashtype, scripts, or internal apps to Lixray.

1. Open your account settings, such as /settings/@samuel.
2. Under API tokens, click Generate token.
3. Copy the token. It is shown only once.
4. Paste it into Flashtype's Share dialog, or save it in your app's server environment as LIX_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Each token has your account's permissions, including access to repositories you create later. Tokens expire after one year. Losing repository access also removes the token's access to it.

To revoke a token, return to account settings and click Delete next to it. Keep tokens out of source control and public browser code.

Repository settings no longer contain API tokens. The account-token migration revokes existing repository tokens; generate a new account token to reconnect.

Continue with Build an internal app.
