API Tokens

API Tokens are used to identify you as the one who is making a request to our API.

This means that your usage quota will be used when the two following conditions are met:

  1. A PDF generation request is made with an API Token that is yours or belongs to a member of one of your teams.
  2. The PDF generation request uses a Template belonging to one of your teams.

Create API Tokens

To create an API Token, go to https://app.pdferret.dev/integration/token, pick a name, and click Create.

Remember that the API Token will be displayed only once.

Tip

Recommendations

  • Use a different API Token per client application, so if one of them is compromised, you can rotate that one, without affecting your other apps.
  • Choose a name that makes it easy for you to remember where are you using each token.

Revoke/delete API Tokens

Sometimes you need to revoke an API Token so is no longer usable.

To do this, you should go to https://app.pdferret.dev/integration/token, and delete the corresponding API Token.

Tip

It is a good practice to periodically rotate your API Tokens.
