API Tokens

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

What Are API Tokens?

API tokens are authentication credentials that allow third-party applications or internal systems to securely communicate with the Starred API.

API tokens help you create custom integrations tailored to your business needs.

With an API token, you can:

  • Build custom integrations

  • Automate workflows

  • Sync data between platforms

  • Access Starred programmatically

Each token is unique and tied to your account.

How to generate an API token

To create a new API token:

  1. Log in to your Starred account

  2. Go to Settings → API Tokens

  3. Click Generate New Token

  4. Enter a descriptive name (e.g., CRM Integration or Analytics Dashboard)

  5. Click Generate

  6. Copy and securely store the token immediately

    ⚠️ Important: Your token will only be displayed once. You won’t be able to view it again later.

     

  7. Once generated, your API token can be used to authenticate API requests.
Include your token in the request headers. For full examples and supported endpoints, see our API documentation. 👉 Learn more: API Documentation →Security Best Practices

Treat your API tokens like passwords.

To keep your account secure:

  • 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
  • Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such GitHub, client-side code etc.

  • Restrict access to authorized users only. You can revoke users access to the API tokens section by editing their access rights. 📘 Learn about user access rights →

  • If you believe a token has been compromised, revoke it immediately.
