How To Set Up An 800.com API Token

Using an API token provides several benefits:

• Secure Access: API tokens ensure secure and authenticated communication between systems.
• Automation: Integrate your account with external applications or scripts to streamline workflows.
• Customization: Build custom solutions or analytics dashboards tailored to your specific needs.
• Efficiency: Access data or trigger actions programmatically, saving time and reducing manual effort.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up an API Token

Step 1: Log In To Your 800.com Account

Log in to your account. Ensure you have administrative access, as only admins can generate and manage API tokens.

• If you’re not already using 800.com, sign up for an account and then log in.

Step 2: Create A New API Token

To create your API Token:

1. Go to Settings > Integrations
2. Locate the API tab
   
3. Click the Create A New Token button > enter Token Name > hit Create

Step 3: Copy And Save The Token

Once the token is generated:

1. Copy the token immediately, as it may not be viewable again for security reasons.
2. Store the token securely, such as in a password manager or encrypted file.

Step 4: Integrate the Token with Your Application

Use the token to authenticate your requests when connecting to your account via the API.

Best Practices for Using API Tokens

• Limit Permissions: Only grant access to the specific features or data required for the integration.
• Secure Storage: Store tokens securely and avoid exposing them in source code or public repositories.
• Rotate Tokens Regularly: Periodically revoke and regenerate tokens to maintain security.
• Revoke Unused Tokens: Disable tokens that are no longer needed to minimize security risks.

Deleting API Tokens

If you suspect a token has been compromised or is no longer needed:

1. Go to Settings > Integrations
2. Locate the API tab
3. Locate the token in the list and click Delete
4. Confirm the action by hitting Delete again to immediately disable the token
   

You can generate a new token if needed and update your integrations accordingly.
