# Application Tokens (API Access)
This document provides an overview of creating and managing application tokens for API access, including token expiration and revocation.
Application tokens let you authorize API requests and third-party integrations without using your password. You create a token in your user profile, set an expiration date, copy the token once, and revoke it when needed.
