Hello Ryaan J,


Application Programming Interface (API) tokens allow users to connect to a server without entering a password. It's straightforward to grant resellers or third-party developers access to carry out operations by granting API tokens.

Moreover, It allows users to authenticate with cloud apps, bypass two-step verification and SSO, and retrieve data from the instance through REST APIs. Finally, token controls enable admins to view and revoke the use of API tokens by their managed accounts.

However, In order to create API tokens in cPanel is very simple. You can follow the below steps to create API tokens via cPanel,

• Firstly, log in to your cPanel account.
• Now, find manage API tokens by entering the token's name in the name column and then choose the expiration date from the calendar.
• Then, select the create button.
• Nextly, the API token will be created, and you will get a success message.
• Finally, select the "Yes, I saved my token" option after copying the API token so that you can safely deliver it to your operator.
• Lastly, the created API token will be added to the active tokens list.

I hope the ways mentioned above help you in creating API tokens from cPanel. However, It is the most effective way to create API tokens, but if you still face any issues, you can update it here.
