The Appeared.in API token is used as the Bearer token for requests to the Public API. It authenticates your organization and should be kept secret.

Use your token in the `Authorization` header:

```bash
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>
```

> **Info**
>
> Public API access must be enabled for your organization by the Appeared.in team. You must also be an organization admin to create or manage API tokens.

#### Log in to Appeared.in

Go to [app.appeared.in](https://app.appeared.in) and log in to your account.

#### Open Public API settings

Open the `Settings` dropdown from the sidebar, then click `Public API`.

#### Create a new API token

In the Public API modal, enter an optional token name and click `Create token`.

Copy the token from the popup immediately. The full token is only shown once; after that, only its prefix is visible.

> **Note**
>
> Each organization can create up to 5 active API tokens.

### Best Practices

To keep your Appeared.in account secure, we recommend the following:

* Use a unique API token for each application or service.
* Store API tokens securely, such as in environment variables or a secrets manager.
* Never expose API tokens in frontend code, browser storage, public repositories, or client-side logs.
* Rotate API tokens regularly.
* Revoke tokens that are no longer used.
