Personal Access Tokens

To consume the public RudderStack APIs, you need a Personal Access Token (PAT) - this access token is associated with an individual’s RudderStack account.

For production use cases, RudderStack recommends using a service access token over a personal access token.

Personal Access Tokens are ideal for individuals who wish to use an API or service for development or testing purposes.

This guide describes the steps to generate a personal access token and all the operations associated with it.
