API Access with Personal Access Tokens

Use personal access tokens for API authentication in Productive, with options for read-only or read/write access.

Updated over a week ago

Personal access tokens are used for authenticating with the Productive API. These tokens remain active indefinitely unless manually revoked.

  • Generation
    Navigate to Settings > API integrations.
    โ€‹

  • Select "Generate new token" to create a new token.

  • Once the token is generated, hover over its name to reveal and copy it.

Access Levels

When creating a token, you can define its access level:

  • Read-only: Allows viewing data.

  • Read/Write: Permits both viewing and editing data.

Note: For Zapier integrations, a Read/Write token is required.

Access Restrictions

API tokens inherit the same access restrictions as the user they are associated with!
โ€‹

If a user does not have permission to access certain features or data within Productive, these limitations will also apply to their API token.

Additional Information

  • Productive API has a limit of 100 queries per 10 seconds.

  • Changing a password or enabling/disabling two-factor authentication does not invalidate existing tokens.

  • These tokens are linked to a specific user. If the user is deactivated, the token will automatically be deactivated.
