Tokens
Create access tokens to read variables from your apps.
What is a token?
A token is a UUID credential that authorises external read access to one or more variables. Tokens are scoped per organisation and can be restricted to a specific set of variables.
Tokens grant read-only access. They cannot be used to create, update, or delete variables.
Creating a token
- Go to Variables -> Tokens in the Dashboard.
- Click New token.
- Enter a name (slug format, e.g.
my-app-prod). - Choose which variables the token can access:
- All variables — the token can read any variable in the organisation.
- Specific variables — select individual variables from the list.
- Click Create.
Rotating a token
Rotation replaces the token string while preserving its name and permissions. The old string is immediately invalidated.
- Open the token's options menu (...).
- Click Rotate.
- Copy the new token string.
Revoking a token
Revoking permanently deletes the token. Any requests using that token will receive a 401 Unauthorized response.
- Open the token's options menu (...).
- Click Revoke.
- Confirm the action.
Using a token
Pass the token as a query parameter when calling the Variables API:
curl "https://variables.flowtagservices.com/v1/value/YOUR_VARIABLE_ID?token=YOUR_TOKEN"
