Today we’re excited to introduce personal access tokens for authenticating with the Notehub API.

With this update, you can create and manage up to 10 tokens from a new API Access section in the Notehub user interface. When creating tokens, you can optionally set an expiration date, and at any time you can suspend or delete tokens as needed.

Personal access tokens carry the same permissions as your Notehub user account, so treat them with the same care as you would a password or other sensitive material.

If you’re previously used the Notehub API’s /auth/login endpoint to create access tokens, those tokens will automatically appear in your personal access token list. If you’ve previously created more than ten tokens, only the 10 most recently used will remain, and the rest will be removed. Notehub’s /auth/login endpoint has been deprecated since 2023, and we plan to remove the endpoint on December 1st, 2025.

Learn more about personal access tokens in Authentication with Personal Access Tokens, and if you have any questions about this change feel free to reach out in our community forum.
