REST API Reference v2.1 -- Tokens and API Keys
POST /tokens
Creates a new personal access token or service account token. Requires tokens:write scope. Request body: {"name": "GitHub Actions Deploy", "type": "service_account", "scopes": ["scans:read", "deployments:write"], "expires_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z", "allowed_ips": ["203.0.113.0/24"]}. The allowed_ips field restricts which source IP addresses can use the token, providing defense against token theft.
Response includes the token value, which is shown only once: {"id": "tok_abc123", "name": "GitHub Actions Deploy", "token": "sb_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "scopes": ["scans:read", "deployments:write"], "expires_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z", "created_at": "2025-09-25T10:00:00Z"}. Store the token value securely immediately. It cannot be retrieved after creation.

POST /tokens/:id/rotate
Rotates a token by generating a new value while keeping the old value active for a grace period. Request body: {"grace_period_hours": 24}. The response includes the new token value and the expiration time of the old value. Both tokens are valid during the grace period, allowing zero-downtime rotation.
Response: {"id": "tok_abc123", "new_token": "sb_live_yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy", "old_token_expires_at": "2025-09-26T10:00:00Z"}. Update all systems using the old token to the new value within the grace period. After the grace period, the old token is automatically revoked. If you suspect the token has been compromised, set grace_period_hours to 0 for immediate rotation.
GET /tokens/:id/usage
Returns usage statistics for a token including request counts, last used timestamp, unique source IPs, and error rates. This endpoint is essential for identifying unused tokens, detecting anomalous usage patterns, and meeting compliance requirements for regular credential reviews.
Response: {"id": "tok_abc123", "usage": {"total_requests": 14523, "last_used_at": "2025-09-25T09:45:00Z", "unique_ips": ["203.0.113.10", "203.0.113.11"], "requests_by_scope": {"scans:read": 12000, "deployments:write": 2523}, "errors": {"401": 0, "403": 3, "429": 45, "500": 2}, "daily_average": 483}}. Use these statistics to right-size token scopes: if a token never uses a granted scope, remove it to follow least-privilege principles.
