Manage API Tokens
Once an API token is created in InstaWP, you can manage it by changing your general API tokens' access permissions (read-only or read-write), filtering the token types, or deleting them when they are no longer in use.
In this documentation, we will explore the steps to:
Let’s get started 🚀
Go to Profile in the top right corner and select Account from the drop-down list. It'll take you to the account settings page.
Select API Token from the options.
Filter API Tokens
You can filter your InstaWP API Tokens based on the following types:
| Token Types | Description |
|---|---|
| General Token | Full access to the application's resources, including the ability to conduct GitHub activities. |
| Chrome Extension | Launches WP instances from the wordpress.org plugins & themes page. |
| InstaWP Connect | Creates staging sites and connects WP sites to your InstaWP account. |
Locate the Manage API Tokens section and click on the All Actions drop-down box. You can select your preferred token type to filter the API Tokens.
Change Permissions
You can change access (read/write) permissions for an API token after it has been created.
The user can only change the permissions of the General API tokens.
Locate the API Token and click on Permissions. A modal window will pop up.
Check or uncheck the permissions and click Save.
Delete API Token
You can delete any of your existing API tokens if they are no longer needed. Click on the Delete option from the token you want to delete.
A pop up window will appear for your confirmation. Click Delete from the pop up to delete the API Token.
