  title: Segment Config Alias Profiles API
  description: The Segment Config API allows programmatic management of Segment workspaces, sources, destinations, and other configuration resources. It provides endpoints to list workspace sources and destinations, create or delete destinations, and manage tracking plans. As of early 2024, Segment has stopped issuing new Config API tokens and recommends migrating to the Public API for access to the latest features. The Config API remains functional for existing users but is no longer actively developed.
