# API tokens

API tokens for service access
<div class="sdk-client-page">

Create and validate API tokens for programmatic access to Scalekit APIs.

Use tokens for service access that is not a full end-user session. Create a token, store it securely, and validate it on incoming requests.

### CreateToken
<div class="sdk-method-section">
  
    
      

      Runs `CreateToken` and returns the result.

      
        Request context
      
      
        Organization ID.
      
      
        Optional request settings.
      
      
        The created resource.
      

```go wrap showLineNumbers=false
expiry := time.Now().Add(24 * time.Hour)
resp, err := scalekitClient.Token().CreateToken(ctx, "org_123", scalekit.CreateTokenOptions{
  UserId:       "usr_123",
  Description:  "Service account token",
  CustomClaims: map[string]string{
    "source": "service",
  },
  Expiry:       &expiry,
})
if err != nil {
  // handle
}
_ = resp.Token
```

    
  
</div>

### ValidateToken
<div class="sdk-method-section">
  
    
      

      Runs `ValidateToken` and returns the result.

      
        Request context
      
      
        Token string.
      
      
        Verified claims or result.
      

```go wrap showLineNumbers=false
resp, err := scalekitClient.Token().ValidateToken(ctx, "api_token_here")
if err != nil {
  // token is invalid or expired
}
_ = resp.Token
```

    
  
</div>

### InvalidateToken
<div class="sdk-method-section">
  
    
      

      Runs `InvalidateToken` and returns the result.

      
        Request context
      
      
        Token string.
      
      
        error
      

```go wrap showLineNumbers=false
if err := scalekitClient.Token().InvalidateToken(ctx, "api_token_here"); err != nil {
  // handle
}
```

    
  
</div>

### ListTokens
<div class="sdk-method-section">
  
    
      

      Runs `ListTokens` and returns the result.

      
        Request context
      
      
        Organization ID.
      
      
        Optional request settings.
      
      
        Paginated results.
      

```go wrap showLineNumbers=false
tokens, err := scalekitClient.Token().ListTokens(ctx, "org_123", scalekit.ListTokensOptions{})
if err != nil {
  // handle
}
for _, token := range tokens.Tokens {
  _ = token
}

// Filter by user ID
userTokens, err := scalekitClient.Token().ListTokens(ctx, "org_123", scalekit.ListTokensOptions{
  UserId: "usr_123",
})
```

    
  
</div>

### UpdateToken
<div class="sdk-method-section">
  
    
      

      Runs `UpdateToken` and returns the result.

      
        Request context
      
      
        Token string.
