Create an API token (session only).

POST

/v1/tokens

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.opdns.io/v1/tokens \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --cookie opdns_session=<opdns_session> \
  --data '{ "name": "example", "scopes": [ "profiles:read" ], "expires_at": "2026-04-15T12:00:00Z" }'

Creates an API token with the given name, scopes and optional expiry; the secret is returned in this response only. The admin scope is for operator accounts and needs a session signed in with a second factor. Session cookie only.

Parameters

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key

string

>= 1 characters <= 255 characters

Makes the POST safe to retry: a repeat with the same key and the same request within 24 h returns the stored response (with Idempotent-Replayed: true) without creating again. 1 to 255 visible ASCII characters (a UUID is fine).
