What Are API Tokens?
API tokens are like passwords for apps:- They allow external programs to access your BeatPass account
- Each token has a name so you can identify what it’s used for
- Tokens can be deleted without affecting your main password
The Developers section only appears in account settings when API access has been enabled for your account.
Creating an API Token
Go to Account Settings
Open the Account Settings page, then open Developers.
Name Your Token
In Create new token, enter a Token name. BeatPass currently requires 3 to 100 characters.
Token Security
Best Practices
- Keep tokens secret — Never share tokens publicly or commit them to code repositories
- Use descriptive names — Name tokens by their use so you know what to revoke later
- Revoke unused tokens — Delete tokens you no longer need
- Rotate periodically — Consider creating new tokens and deleting old ones regularly
What Tokens Can Do
Tokens provide access to your account through the BeatPass API. The specific permissions depend on your account type and the API endpoints used.Deleting API Tokens
If you no longer need a token or suspect it’s compromised:- Open the Account Settings page
- Open Developers and find the token in your list
- Click Delete
- Confirm the Delete token? prompt
Effects of Deletion
- The token stops working immediately
- Any applications using that token will lose access
- You cannot recover a deleted token (create a new one instead)

|---|---|
| ”Mobile App” | Your personal mobile integration |
