title: Ignition Gateway REST access-control api-token API
description: The Ignition Gateway REST API (Ignition 8.3+) provides an OpenAPI-compliant HTTP interface to Gateway configuration resources including tags, projects, modules, device connections, historian data, user management (SCIM), alarm notification, OPC connections, and more. The specification is dynamically generated based on installed modules. Authentication uses API keys exchanged for time-limited tokens via the X-Ignition-API-Token header. Mutative requests are audit-logged. Supports Kubernetes and Helm-based cloud-native deployments.

description: 'Generates a key and hash pair suitable for a new API Token. Clients should store the key somewhere safe, such as a password manager or secrets manager. The key is the credential that the client will include with each request for authentication purposes. The hash is a secure digest of the key and should be sent to Ignition as the token hash when creating a new API key. WARNING: it is strongly recommended to call this API using https, otherwise the security of the token could be compromised.'
