Accessing APIs

NocoDB APIs can be authorized by either Auth Token or API Token.

Auth Token​

Auth Token is a JWT Token generated based on the logged-in user. By default, the token is only valid for 10 hours. However, you can change the value by defining it using environment variable NC_JWT_EXPIRES_IN. If you are passing Auth Token, make sure that the header is called xc-auth.

  • Go to NocoDB Project, click on Nocodb on top left, Copy Auth Token.

API Token​

API tokens allows us to integrate seamlessly with 3rd party apps. See API Tokens Management for more.

Swagger UI​

You can interact with the API's resources via Swagger UI.

  • Open project context menu, select Swagger: REST APIs.
