API Stability Long-Term

The token() GraphQL query is used to get information on a token based on its unique identification.

Related to this query field is the tokens() query for getting a list of tokens, and validateToken() validating a token. There are also several mutation fields: createPersonalUserTokenV2(), createReadonlyToken(), createSystemPermissionsTokenV2(), and createViewPermissionsTokenV2() for creating tokens; deleteToken() and deleteReadonlyToken() for deleting them; and rotateToken() for rotating a token.

For more information on access tokens of various types, see the Tokens in LogScale page in the main documentation.

Syntax

graphql
token(
      tokenId: string!
   ): Token!

For the input, you'll have to provide the token's unique identifier. To get that, you can use the tokens() query. For the results, you can get the name of the token, when it was created and when it will expire. See the Returned Datatype section further down this page for more.

Example

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