Overview

All Caspen API requests use bearer token authentication. Include your token in the Authorization header on every call.

​
Bearer token authentication

Bearer tokens provide the same access as the issuing account. Store them securely and rotate them if you suspect compromise.

​
Getting your token

  1. Sign in to the Caspen dashboard as an account owner.
  2. Go to Settings -> API keys.
  3. Create a new token and copy it immediately.
  4. Store the token in a secure secret manager or environment variable.
Tokens do not expire automatically. Revoke and regenerate them from the dashboard whenever you need to change access.

​
Implementation tips

  • Send requests over HTTPS (TLS 1.2 or higher).
  • Never embed tokens in client-side code or logs.
  • Use separate tokens for different services or environments to simplify rotation.
