Managing API Tokens

API tokens are used to authenticate with Unmold from the CLI and CI/CD systems.

Create a Token​

  1. Sign in to the Unmold console
  2. Go to Settings → API Tokens
  3. Click Create New Token
  4. Enter:
    • Name (required)
    • Description (optional)
  5. Click Create

A token will be generated and displayed only once. Copy and store it securely.

Store Tokens Securely​

Treat API tokens like passwords:

  • Store them in a password manager or secrets manager
  • Do not commit tokens to source control
  • Use environment variables for local development
  • Use your CI platform’s secret storage for pipelines

Delete a Token​

To revoke access:

  1. Navigate to Settings → API Tokens
  2. Locate the token
  3. Click Delete

Deletion takes effect immediately and cannot be undone.

Using Tokens​

API tokens are used to authenticate:

  • CLI workflows (local development)
  • CI/CD pipelines (automated publishing)

You will configure the token in the next step when publishing your first module.

Next Step​

Continue to Publish your first module to use your token in practice.
