What APIs Are and Why They Are Useful
API stands for “Application Programming Interface” and the Dataverse Software APIs allow you to take advantage of integrations with other software that may have been set up by admins of your Dataverse installation. An API token is similar to a password and allows you to authenticate to Dataverse Software APIs to perform actions as you. Many Dataverse Software APIs require the use of an API token. See the External Tools and Integrations sections of the Admin Guide for examples of software that is commonly integrated with a Dataverse installation.
How Your API Token Is Like a Password
In many cases, such as when depositing data, an API Token is required to interact with Dataverse Software APIs. The word “token” indicates a series of letters and numbers such as c6527048-5bdc-48b0-a1d5-ed1b62c8113b. Anyone who has your API Token can add and delete data as you so you should treat it with the same care as a password. Your API token is unique to the server you are using. You cannot take your API token from one server and use it on another server.c Anyone who has your API Token can add and delete data as you so you should treat it with the same care as a password.
To create your API token, click on your account name in the navbar, then select “API Token” from the dropdown menu. In this tab, click “Create Token”.
How to Recreate Your API Token
If your API Token becomes compromised or has expired, click on your account name in the navbar, then select “API Token” from the dropdown menu. In this tab, click “Recreate Token”.
