API Credentials for Apify

Guide to obtaining tokens, keys, and connections.

To connect to the Apify API you need a personal API token. This token is generated in your Apify Console account and acts as your secret credential to access Apify resources on your behalf. Below you will find step-by-step instructions to create and obtain your token.

Apify API Token

  1. 1

    Go to https://console.apify.com and sign in with your Apify account (email/password, Google or GitHub).

  2. 2

    Open Settings from the left sidebar and click the "API & Integrations" tab, or go directly to https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations.

  3. 3

    In the "Personal API tokens" section, click the button to create a new token ("+ Create a new token").

  4. 4

    Enter a clear description for the token, for example "Botize Integration", so you can identify what it is used for later.

  5. 5

    Optional but recommended: set an expiration date so the token becomes invalid after a specified period.

  6. 6

    Optional: enable "Limit token permissions" to create a scoped token restricted to specific actors, tasks, datasets or stores instead of full account access.

  7. 7

    Click "Create" (or "Save") to generate the token.

  8. 8

    Copy the token value shown on screen and save it in a safe place. Scoped tokens are shown only once and cannot be retrieved again later.

  9. 9

    Paste the token into the corresponding field in Botize to complete the connection.
