Create OAuth 1 API tokens

OAuth 1 permanent tokens consist of a token, token secret, consumer, and consumer secret. OAuth 1 permanent tokens are no longer created by default and can only be generated for existing integrations that didn't migrate to OAuth 2 yet.

Note

Make sure you have this feature enabled for your account. Contact your Bynder Customer Success Manager for information and help with the setup.

  • Manage portal settings: enables you to access the settings page for setting up API tokens.

  • Create Bynder API tokens: enables you to create consumers and tokens.

  • View Bynder API tokens: displays a list of all the tokens created for your account.

  • Revoke Bynder API tokens: enables you to delete selected tokens.
