The API Tokens card lets other software use your account with a token. It is switched off in My profile today; this says what it holds and what a token opens.

An API token is a long secret that other software sends in place of your password. Panoramr has the card that makes one, called **API Tokens**, but it is **switched off**: **My profile** does not show it, so nobody can make a token today. This page says what the card is for, so that you know what you are not missing and what a token would open if it is switched on.

**Who can use it.** Nobody at the moment. When the card is on, it is for any account whose email address is confirmed, on any plan.

**What a token opens.** Only one address, which returns your own account's record. No tour, panorama, hotspot or setting can be read or changed with a token. Other software cannot be connected to your tours through it. Panoramr has not tried it with an outside service.

## The card

### Token Name

A name that tells you what a token is for.

**Where:** the **API Tokens** card in **My profile**, when it is switched on. It is not shown today.
**Default:** `Personal Access Token - ` and today's date.
**What it does:** Up to 255 characters. The name is only for you.
**What visitors see:** Nothing. Visitors to your tours never see this.
**Needs:** A confirmed email address, even where unconfirmed accounts can otherwise use the app.
**Related:** **Create Token**.

### Create Token

Make the token.

**Where:** the button under **Token Name**, on the same card. It is not shown today.
**Default:** Not applicable.
**What it does:** Makes a token and shows it once, with the message `API Token created successfully. Copy it now, it will only be shown once.` The token opens only the one address described above, and it does not expire. The card does not list your tokens afterwards.
**What visitors see:** Nothing.
**Needs:** A name in **Token Name**.

## What ends a token

Every token you have is deleted when you change your password in **My profile**, when you reset a forgotten password, and when your account is deleted. A person who thinks someone else has their account does the first for this reason: see [Fix sign-in problems](https://www.panoramr.com/help/fix-sign-in-problems).

## Troubleshooting

**I cannot find the API Tokens card.** It is switched off. There is no setting that turns it on for one account.

**I need other software to work with my tours.** A token does not give that. Write to us through the [contact page](https://www.panoramr.com/contact) and say what you want to connect.
