Overview

To authenticate with Monday, you will need:
  1. Personal API Token - A personal V2 API token used to authenticate requests and identify you as the user making the call.
This guide will walk you through finding your personal API token.

​
Prerequisites:

  • A monday.com account. If you don’t have one yet, you can create a free developer account to get an API token and start testing.

​
Instructions:

​
Step 1: Finding your personal API token

You can access your token in two ways, depending on your user type. In the Developer Center (all users):
  1. In your monday.com account, click on your profile picture in the top right corner.
  2. Select Developers. This opens the Developer Center in another tab.
  3. Click API token > Show.
  4. Copy your personal token.
In the Administration tab (account admins only):
  1. In your monday.com account, click on your profile picture in the top right corner.
  2. Select Administration > Connections > Personal API token.
  3. Copy your personal token.
Personal tokens mirror all permission levels set in the monday.com UI, including board, column, item, or account access — if you don’t have permission to access a workspace via the UI, you won’t have permission using your personal API token either.
Tokens can be regenerated at any time from the Developer Center or the Administration tab, but this immediately invalidates the previous token — be sure to update your connection if you regenerate it.

​
Step 2: Enter credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have your personal API token:
  1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Monday.
  2. Enter your Personal API Token in the designated field.
  3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
You are now connected to Monday.
