Overview

To authenticate with Doppler, you need:
  1. API Token — a Doppler Personal, Service or Service Account token.
This guide will show you how to get it.

Prerequisites

  • A Doppler account. API access is included on the free Developer plan. You can sign up here.

Step 1: Generate a Doppler token

Use a Personal Token to give the connection your own access to every project, or a Service Token to limit it to one config. Personal Token (starts with dp.pt.):
  1. Sign in to the Doppler dashboard.
  2. Click Tokens in the left sidebar, open the Personal tab, and click Create a personal token. Then click Create in the dialog.

  1. Open the project and select the config you want to connect.
  2. Go to the Access tab and generate a service token. Name it, and enable write access only if your integration needs it.
  3. Copy the token. It is only shown once.
