### Access tokens

A personal access token gives the holder access to an account through the API as if they were the user who generated the token. To generate a personal access token:

1. Login to your Figma account.
2. Head to Settings from the top-left menu inside Figma.
3. Find the Personal access tokens section.
4. Click Generate new token to open the configuration modal.
5. Set the expiration and [scopes](https://www.figma.com/developers/api#authentication-scopes) for the token. The scopes will determine which endpoints the token has access to.
   1. For scopes use at least
      1. ```
         org:activity_log_read
         ```
6. Click Generate token. This will be your only chance to copy the token, so make sure you keep a copy of this in a secure place.
