# API Tokens

**Use API Tokens to authorize specific API requests.**

## API Tokens

API Tokens are primarily used for authorizing specific API requests. They are designed with a narrow scope and are typically used for short-term validity, enhancing security and access control in your projects.

* **Use Cases:** Ideal for authorizing individual API requests where precise access control is needed.
* **Short-Term Validity:** Frequently regenerated or rotated to maintain high security.

#### Generating API Tokens

1. Navigate to `Settings -> Project ->` [API Tokens](https://app.fastgen.com/settings/api/) in your Fastgen dashboard.
2. Create a new API Token by following the provided instructions. (Optional: Define the duration for the token based on your security needs in this step.)
