Create and Manage API Tokens

Create personal access tokens (PATs) to authenticate with the DevGuard API for automation, CI/CD pipelines, and programmatic access.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • DevGuard account access
  • Understanding of API authentication basics
  • A way to securely store tokens
⚠️

Personal Access Tokens grant full API access with your user’s permissions. Treat them like passwords—never commit them to version control or share them, try to use environment variables or secure vaults.

Manage a Personal Access Token

Top Right → User Profile → Settings → API Tokens → Create New Token
