API Stability Long-Term

The createPersonalUserTokenV2() GraphQL mutation field is used to create a personal user token for the user. It will inherit the same permissions as the user.

Instead of using the GraphQL API, you can use the LogScale UI to create a personal user token. See the Personal API Token section of the Manage Account documentation page for more information.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the createPersonalUserTokenV2() mutation field:

graphql
createPersonalUserTokenV2(
       input: CreatePersonalUserTokenV2Input!
    ): CreatePersonalUserTokenV2Output!

Below is an example of how this mutation field might be used:

Raw
graphql
mutation {
  createPersonalUserTokenV2(input:
       { expireAt: null } )
  { token, tokenMetadata { name } }
}
Mac OS or Linux (curl)
shell

    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "mutation {
  createPersonalUserTokenV2(input:
       { expireAt: null } )

}"
}
