Codacy API Tokens¶
Codacy API Tokens allow you to authenticate when using the Codacy API. You must generate a Codacy API Token and include it in the headers of your API calls as described on the Codacy API documentation.
Warning
Never write API tokens on your configuration files and keep your API tokens well protected, as they grant owner permissions to your projects.
We recommend that you set API tokens as environment variables. Check the documentation of your CI/CD platform on how to do this.
To generate a Codacy API Token, open your account, tab Access management, and click the button Create API token.
To revoke access to the Codacy API, you must remove the corresponding Codacy API Token from the list. After this, all applications or services using that token to access the Codacy API will fail to authenticate and will receive the following error reply:
{"error":"not found"}
Tip
You can create multiple Codacy API Tokens. This can be useful to have a more flexible control by revoking only a specific token.
