Create an API key

Go to Configuration > API tokens, click Add API token, name it and click Generate.

Every system that calls the Linqur API needs an API token. You create one yourself under Configuration. A token gives access to all courses, users and tools on your platform, so make a separate token for each system and treat it like a password.

Step by step

1. Open API tokens

Click Configuration in the menu on the left (1), then the API tokens tab (2). Under Generated tokens you see the tokens that already exist.

2. Click Add API token

Click Add API token at the top right of the list.

3. Name the token and click Generate

The window Generate token opens. Type a name (1), for example the name of the system that will use the token. Use letters, digits and spaces only. Then click Generate (2).

4. Copy the token

The new token is at the top of the list, with today’s date (1). The value is hidden behind asterisks. Click the eye icon (2) to show it and copy it into the system that will use it.

The message Token added at the bottom right confirms that the token was created.

The trash icon in the Action column deletes a token. A system that still uses that token can then no longer reach the API.

Next step

• The API documentation explains how to send the token with your requests.
• The endpoint reference lists every call, and practical applications of the API groups them by task.

The Linqur Connect token block at the bottom of the same page is for the Linqur WooCommerce plug-in, not for the API.
