# API Token (Bearer Token)

> An API token is a secret credential that authenticates programmatic requests to an API, sent as a bearer token in the Authorization header.

A token lets you automate the platform, create monitors, manage customers, fetch reports, with no username or password involved. Scope and rotate tokens carefully: whoever holds one acts as you.
