API Access Tokens

As of the latest update, the Helmholtz RSD now enables users to generate API access tokens. The access tokens can be used in external applications, for example your CI/CD pipeline, to create and modify your software entries.

The token can be created under the API Access Tokens tab of the user settings:

Access token user settings

The token can be created for a duration up to one year. It is bound to the user profile that created the token.

To use the token, requests must be sent to the new /api/v2 endpoint. For more details and examples how to use the new access token, have a look at the REST API documentation.
