Managing API Tokens

API tokens authenticate your CLI and extension access. You can manage them in the console.
  • Generate tokens: Create new tokens for each device or use case
  • Revoke tokens: Remove access for specific tokens without affecting others
  • Token persistence: Tokens never expire unless manually revoked
Use unique tokens for each device so you can revoke access individually if needed.

Adding a Payment Method

Before creating instances, you need a payment method on file. Visit the billing settings to add a credit card.
