Click on **Detailed help** to get your API Token from your nominal account.

Connect to the API using your API token.

1. Create a text file that contains your API token.
2. Wire a string containing your API token directly.
3. For development, wire an empty string. When an empty string is wired, the API will look for a `.token` file in your application’s directory.

NOTE: Besure to exclude API Tokens (and token files) from source code control.
