API Tokens

Baserow uses a simple token-based authentication. You can use API tokens to authenticate with the REST API endpoints where you can create, read, update and delete rows. With Baserow API, you can integrate your data with thousands of services.

The REST endpoint connects two or more services and enables data exchange between the server, database, and app.

You need to generate at least one API token in your settings to use the endpoints.

To access your account page, click on the dropdown icon beside your account name in the top-right of the home screen, then click ‘Settings’ from the dropdown menu.

Learn more about setting permissions to personal API tokens.

To give you more space on your dashboard to work, you can collapse your sidebar using the collapse and expand icon at the bottom of the sidebar.

Delete account

From the settings page, you can schedule the deletion of your account by entering your current password and clicking the button.

Your account will be permanently deleted after 30 days. When your account is permanently deleted, all groups and associated data for which you are the last active user with Admin permissions will also be deleted. The groups shown below are the ones that will be deleted because you are the only admin. To prevent them being deleted you must first give another user admin before deleting your account.

In the meantime, if you log in again before the 30-day grace period, your account deletion will be cancelled.
