How to create API token?

OwlGreen

Hello!

I have forum and external project with webhook, when my webhook have a request, I need create a topic on forum and for this I need to authorization in account (example: robot) on forum via API token.

But when I open the url myforum.com/api/token I have error:
{"errors":[{"status":"405","code":"method_not_allowed"}]}

Please help, how to create API token? In the past I used NodeBB and Discourse, this cms allow create token in ACP, on Flarum I don't understand how it's work 🙁

OwlGreen the next version (v.1.5 expected next month) will likely have an interface to manage tokens. For now you create an entry in your database manually.

You can see how to do that on our docs: https://docs.flarum.org/rest-api/#api-keys

Maybe I am wrong, but if you create the user, you can go to Profile >> Security and create a token. I used this and had no issue.

treyb yeah definitely, the reply by laiba89 seems to be ai generated. But regardless of that, they attempt to be helpful while also breaching our community guidelines by promoting/advertising their website/services. Every single reply in their run 6 hours ago has exactly the same markup and just smells of chat gpt 😊

luceos I was thinking the same thing. Especially in their one reply on a different topic saying PHP 8 wasn't supported by Flarum when I know for a fact it is.
