Generating an API Token

How to generate an Archive API token directly from the Integrations page in your workspace.

Archive's API lets you programmatically access your workspace data β€” for example, syncing creators into a CRM, exporting metrics into a dashboard, or managing Collections in bulk. You can generate the API token you need directly from the Archive app.


Generating Your API Token

  1. Open the Integrations page in your Archive workspace.

  2. Locate the API Token card.

  3. If no token has been generated yet, click Generate. Your new token is displayed once on the screen β€” copy it and store it somewhere secure.

🚨 Important: The full token is shown only once, immediately after it is generated. After you dismiss the screen, you will see only the last four characters. If you lose the token, you'll need to regenerate a new one.


Agency Workspaces

If your account is an agency with multiple workspaces, a single token covers all of them. You don't need to generate a separate token per workspace.

The Integrations page will indicate how many workspaces the token has access to.


Regenerating Your Token

If your token has been compromised, lost, or shared with someone who should no longer have access, regenerate it immediately.

  1. Open the Integrations page.

  2. In the API Token card, click Regenerate.

  3. Confirm the action.

⚠️ Caution: Regenerating immediately invalidates the old token. Any apps, scripts, or integrations using the previous token will stop working until they are updated with the new value.


What the API Supports

The API provides access to your Social Listening data β€” content, creators, engagement metrics, and CRM-style custom attributes. For a plain-language overview of what you can and can't do, see What You Can Do With the Archive API.

Good to know:

  • Creator Search endpoints are not currently available through the API.

  • Agency tokens cover all workspaces under the agency, not just the current one.
