# API token

We provide an API token management system in the admin console where admins can create and manage API tokens. These tokens can then be integrated into any external application to deploy EDITable pipelines or refresh a semantic data input model. This way, any authorized user can deploy piplelines or refresh the semantic model with a simple click of a button from an external application without logging in to the admin console or the report.

Let us now see the process of creating an API token.

### 1. Create API Token <a href="#id-1.-create-api-token" id="id-1.-create-api-token"></a>

1. To create a new API token, click **Create API Token** in the API token screen.

2. In the next screen, you can enter the details of the token.

**Token name:** Enter a name for the token.

**Expiry:** Set the token's validity to 30/60/90 days, or you can set any custom date within a year.

**Description:** Enter an optional description of the token.

**Permission:** You can set either or both of the following permissions: execute a new subscription, and refresh a semantic data input model.

After entering the details, click **Generate**.

3. A new token will be generated. Ensure that it is copied and saved somewhere, as it will become irretrievable after copying the token or closing the window.

Now with this token, we can deploy an EDITable pipeline and/or refresh the semantic data input model externally from any application.
