Authentication for KSI Vision developer tools
How to obtain and use a Personal Access Token to authenticate your requests to the KSI Vision REST APIs.
How do I access the developer tools?
To start using KSI Vision's developer tools, you need a Personal Access Token. This token grants programmatic access to the development resources associated with your KSI Vision account - subject to the same permission boundaries your account has in the platform.
What is a Personal Access Token?
A Personal Access Token is your API authorization credential. It provides access to controlled resources within the KSI Vision API on behalf of your account.
The token inherits the same permission scope as your account. For example: if your account has access to Store 1 but not Store 2, your token will reflect exactly those same limits.
Think of the token as a password - it should be treated with the same level of care.

Important security notes
- The token is only shown once at the time of creation. If you lose it, you will need to generate a new one.
- Treat the token like a password - keep it secure.
- Never share it with anyone outside your organization.
- Never embed it in code or URLs where others might find it.
