Generate a New API Token

1. Click the Add token button.

2. Select the scope of your token:

   1. Organization: All business architecture data for the organization

   2. Document: Only the selected document

3. Select the access of your token:

   • Read-Only: Allows retrieving mindmaps and metadata.

   • Read & Write: Allows creating, updating, and deleting data.

   • Admin: Grants full access to manage integrations and settings.

4. Click Generate token.

Your new API token will be displayed. Copy and securely store it, as it will only be shown once.

Secure Your API Token

• Do not share your token publicly or expose it in frontend code.

• Store it in environment variables (.env files) or a secrets manager.

• Rotate tokens regularly to maintain security.

• If a token is compromised, revoke and regenerate a new one immediately.

Example environment variable usage:

ORTHOGRAMIC_API_TOKEN=your-secure-token

Using Your API Token

Include the token in the Authorization header of your API requests:

curl -X GET "https://api.orthogramic.com/mindmap/12345" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

Example using JavaScript (fetch API):

fetch("https://api.orthogramic.com/mindmap/12345", {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.ORTHOGRAMIC_API_TOKEN}`
  }
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));

Managing API Tokens
