API token

sparks

I have no idea what an API token is. I've looked at the GivEnergy token generator, and it is asking for level of access. What level of access is required by WonderWatt ? Does it require all the tickboxes to be ticked, or just some ? What 'Name' is required for the token ? Is this something specific, or any name I choose ?
Thanks

@sparks Thanks for your message.

Yeah, we suggested on a call with GivEnergy to use scoping to limit their API token, and it seems they have gone ahead and implemented this.

These are the scopes Wonder Watt needs:

The name of the token is irrelevant. It's mainly for you to remember what token you are using for which 3rd party service.

Cheers!

I just had the same issue. Can this be added to the FAQ? Had to do a forum search to find it.

johalareewi It’s in the FAQ with a link, but perhaps needs another question about Giv API token that points to the thread too.

Fair point, thanks!

admin Separate question in the FAQ for GivEnergy API token generation would be great. When I clicked generate token on the GE portal my reaction was ?????
