# Prerequisites

After the initial setup, access to Britive APIs is protected by OAuth 2.0 authorization. To use a Britive API, you must first generate an API token that can be used to execute the API.

---

## URL of the Britive Application

The URL mentioned in the APIs represents the URL of the Britive application.

For example:

| POST | {{url}}/api/user-tags |
| --- | --- |

An example of a {url} can be https://demo.britive-app.com. In this example URL, replace the demo with the tenant name provided to you by Britive.

Note: Ensure that a tenant has been onboarded. If a tenant has not been onboarded, contact Britive for further assistance.

## Generating an API Token

To create an API token, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to Britive Application as an administrator.
2. Click **Admin** -> **Security**.
3. In API Tokens, click **CREATE TOKEN**. A pop-up window is displayed.
4. In the pop-up window, enter the name of the API token.
5. Click **CREATE TOKEN**.

This generates an API token that can be used in all API calls.

Note:API tokens inherit the same privileges as the user who created the tokens. For security reasons, exercise caution when selecting which users are creating API tokens to use Britive APIs.
