Use this interactive demo to learn how to generate and copy a REST API token in Coda.

Quick summary

Coda's REST API lets you programmatically access and manage your workspace data by authenticating requests with a personal API token. This demo walks you through generating, restricting, and copying your Coda API token directly from Account Settings.


Steps

  1. On Coda's main dashboard, click the Profile icon in the top-right corner.
  2. Choose Account Settings from the list of options.
  3. Scroll down to the API Settings tab and click Generate API Token.
  4. Enter a unique token name into the provided input field.
  5. Click Add a Restriction to scope the token's access.
  6. Configure the necessary restriction settings according to your requirements.
  7. Review your input and click Generate API Token to confirm.
  8. Once generated, click Copy Token and include it in your REST API requests whenever needed.

📌 Why this matters

Coda's REST API enables teams and developers to automate workflows, sync data, and build integrations directly on top of their Coda documents. Generating a scoped API token with restrictions ensures secure, controlled programmatic access to your workspace without exposing unnecessary permissions. For teams scaling document-based operations or connecting Coda to external tools, mastering API token creation is a foundational step. This interactive demo makes the setup process fast and error-free, so you can start making authenticated API calls in minutes.
