# Application Tokens (API Access)

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.

{% hint style="info" %}

* **Application token** — A token used for API access instead of an interactive sign-in session.

See the [Glossary](/glossary/glossary.md) for DocStudio term definitions.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
This feature can be disabled by an instance administrator. In this case, creating new tokens is disabled. All existing tokens stay valid until their expiration date.
{% endhint %}

Use application tokens with the API and third-party integrations.
