# API Keys

An API token acts like a permanent password for you to connect to an API. API connections are handled this way because usernames and passwords may change, then instead of needing to change connection settings within the API, the token will remain constant. It is always recommended that you set a minimum of two API tokens, one for TX and one for RX binds.

This guide will assist you in creating, viewing, and deleting an API token.

From your login screen click on the **Tools > Advanced/Developers** option. You will then be taken to the **API Access Manager** page. From this page, select **New API Token** as pictured below and click on the selected option.

You will then be asked to name your token. Once you are satisfied with the name, you can click on the **Create** button to proceed.

Your token is now created and you will see it listed on the page tab.
