How can I get my Discloud API token?

Learn what the Discloud API Token is and where to find it on the Dashboard.

🔑 What is the Discloud API Token?

Your Discloud API Token is a personal, secret credential that authenticates you to all Discloud developer surfaces:

• REST API requests

• Official CLI

• VS Code Extension

• SDK / Libraries (e.g. npm, Python)

It uniquely identifies your account, so anyone with this token can act as you. Treat it like a password.

📍 Where to Get It

Follow these steps to view (or copy) your token on the Dashboard:

1

Open the Dashboard: https://discloud.com/dashboard

2

In the left sidebar, expand Tools and click API keys.

3

Use the Copy button to place the token on your clipboard.

If the token is hidden, click Show to reveal it. Use Reset only if you suspect it has been compromised.

🔒 Security Best Practices

Practice	Why
Keep it private (never share or screenshot)	Prevent account takeover
Do NOT commit to Git	Public repos are scanned by bots
Use environment variables / secret managers	Centralized rotation & safer logs
Rotate (Reset Token) if exposed	Immediately invalidates old token

If you accidentally publish or paste your token somewhere public, reset it immediately under Tools > API keys in the Dashboard and redeploy any services using the old one.
