Personal Access Tokens
Generate, configure, secure and revoke the access tokens your applications use to call the Monime API.
Overview
To programmatically interact with your Monime Spaces, you need Access Tokens (API Keys). These tokens authenticate your applications and grant permission to perform actions across all Monime Spaces associated with your Monimeer account.

Log In to Your Dashboard
Navigate to my.monime.io and log in with your Monimeer credentials.
Access Developer Portal
From the left sidebar navigation, click Developer. You'll see a list of all
your Monime Spaces with their unique Space IDs (e.g., spc_xxxxxxxxx).
Navigate to Access Tokens
In the Developer Portal sidebar, click Access Tokens. This page shows all your existing tokens, their status (ACTIVE, EXPIRED), and creation dates.
