How to manage a personal token

Personal Tokens allow you to authenticate your access to interfaces and tools such as the Azion CLI and Azion API.

Creating a personal token

Log in to Azion Console.
In the Account Menu on the top-right corner, represented by three horizontal lines, and select Personal Tokens.
Click the + Personal Token button.
Fill in the required fields:
- Name
- Description (optional)
- Expires within
  - You can choose the token expiration date between 1, 7, 15, 30, 90 days, 1 year, or a custom date.
Click the Save button.
In the pop-up, click the visibility icon in the Personal Token field to see your token.
Click the Copy button to copy your token.

Run the following cURL command in your terminal, replacing [TOKEN VALUE] with an already existing personal token:

curl --location 'https://api.azionapi.net/iam/personal_tokens' \
--header 'Accept: application/json; version=3' \
--header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "name": "One day token",
    "expires_at": "2023-07-26T00:00",
    "description": "example"
}'

You can also change the name, expires_at, and description fields.

Revoking a personal token

To revoke your Personal Token, proceed as follows:

Log in to Azion Console.
In the Account Menu on the top-right corner, represented by three horizontal lines, and select Personal Tokens.
On the Personal Tokens page, click the three points icon on the right corner of the personal token you want to delete.
When you click the icon, select Delete and a message will appear asking you to confirm the deletion.
On the verification pop-up, type delete.
Click the Delete button.

You’ll see a message confirming the deletion of your token.
