@IIrafail Thanks for this question!

Once you login to the Graph Explorer site, you should be able to find the 'Access Token' tab option -

You can copy paste the access token from here.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

@nikithauc Thank you for your reply. When I try it there is no access token, the copy button doesn't work either. Is there any setting I need to enable? Also when I click on the curly brackets button I get null as the access token.

When a user signs in with a consumer account, the access token is not a JWT. We should still show the token but disable the link to jwt.ms as it can't decode the token. Consider the token opaque.

@IIrafail Can you confirm that you are using a consumer account to login?

Is there a direct way to know that it is a consumer account?

@MIchaelMainer I am using a consumer account. How can I get the api token to use with my node.js application?

This should be available in the next update as it is fixed by #883
