What are personal access tokens (PATs)?

Personal Access Tokens (PATs, or just Access Tokens) provide you with programmatic access to Model-Prime's APIs. For example, a PAT can be used when calling Model-Prime API endpoints using curl or scripting. PATs can have an arbitrarily long lifetime, may be revoked at any time by an authorized user.

How can PATs be used?

You can create a PAT using the web UI by navigating to Configurations and selecting the Personal Access Tokens tab. Click on Generate Token.
