Overview

To authenticate with Bugsnag, you need:
  1. API Host — the Bugsnag API host that matches your dashboard.
  2. Personal Auth Token — a token generated in your Bugsnag account.
This guide will show you how to get them.

Prerequisites

  • A Bugsnag account with access to the organization you want to connect.

Step 1: Find your API host

  2. Open Settings > My account > Personal auth tokens, then click Generate new token.
