API tokens
If you're integrating with Dynition programmatically, you authenticate with an API token. Create and manage them under Settings → Developer → API tokens.
Creating a token
Generate a token and assign it one or more roles. A token's permissions are the union of the roles you give it, so it can only do what those roles allow. Copy the token somewhere safe when you create it: for security, you won't be able to see the full value again.
Treat tokens like passwords
Anyone with a token can act through the API as your workspace. Don't paste tokens into shared docs or commit them to source control, and revoke any token you think has leaked.
Full developer reference documentation for the API is coming separately. This page covers creating and managing the tokens themselves.
