Authentication in the API Explorer
Select the lock
You can also unlock all endpoints by selecting Authorize. In the displayed dialog, you can then see which token permissions are necessary for each API endpoint. By entering your API token into the global Available authorizations dialog, you can unlock all related API endpoints.
Try out an API call
Once you've entered your API token, you can directly execute API calls within the API explorer. A click on the Try it out button opens the parameter section of the selected API endpoint, where you can enter additional parameters and modify the request payload before executing it by clicking the Execute button.
