Create API token – cPanel

Login to cPanel.
Tutorial: login from the Client Area or the direct link.

Find the Security section and click the Manage API Tokens link.

On the Manage API Tokens page, click the +Create button.

The Create API Token interface will appear.
Enter a unique name in the API Token Name text box.

An API token name can only contain up to 50 characters.
You can only enter letters (a – z and A – Z), numbers (0 – 9), dashes ( - ), and underscores ( _ ).

Select one of the following options from the Should the API Token Expire? section:

The API Token will not expire.
— This will create a token that does not have an expiration date.
By default, tokens expire one year from the current date.

Specify an expiration date.
— This allows you to create a token that expires on a specific date.
When you select this option, the interface displays the API Token Expiration Date section.
Use the calendar icon () to open a calendar to select a desired expiration date.
You can also enter a custom date in the calendar text box, in YYYY-MM-DD format.
The token will expire on the date you select at 23:59:59, server time.

Important:
You cannot edit an API token expiration date after creation.
When an API token expires, the system will not remove it. You must manually delete an API token.

To copy the API token, click the Copy link. Think of this token like a password. You must enter this token each time that you use it.

You cannot access the token after you navigate away from the interface.
If you forget or misplace this token, you must revoke the token and then create a new one.

— To create a new token, select the Create another token after I click Yes, I saved my token checkbox.
— To return to the List API Tokens interface, deselect the Create another token after I click Yes, I saved my token checkbox.

Click Yes, I Saved My Token.
