API Tokens

API tokens provide a secure way to authenticate and connect Starred with external applications or custom integrations.

They act as digital keys, allowing approved systems to interact with your Starred account programmatically — while keeping your data and access secure.

Why Use API Tokens?

API tokens enable you to build custom integrations tailored to your specific business needs.

Generating Your API Token

To create a new API token:

1. Navigate to the API Tokens section in your account settings
2. Click Generate New Token
3. Provide a descriptive name for your token (e.g., "CRM Integration" or "Analytics Dashboard")
4. Copy and securely store your token immediately - it won't be shown again

⚠️

Important Security Note

Treat your API tokens like passwords. Store them securely and never share them publicly or commit them to version control systems.

Using Your API Token

Once you have your token, you can use it to authenticate API requests. Include it in your request headers as shown in our API documentation. Read more in our API documentation →

Managing Your Tokens

• Monitor usage: Regularly review which tokens are active and being used
• Rotate tokens: Periodically generate new tokens and revoke old ones
• Revoke unused tokens: Remove tokens that are no longer needed to maintain security
