Developer Settings

Authentication Token

This section is for managing a personal access token (API key) for programmatic access to WEBKNOSSOS.

This token is primarily used with the WEBKNOSSOS Python library to automate tasks like uploading/downloading datasets, managing annotations, and integrating WEBKNOSSOS into custom analysis pipelines.

Token Revocation

If your token has been compromised or you suspect someone else has gained access to it, you can revoke it and generate a new one:

  1. Navigate to the Developer group and select the Auth Token tab in Account Settings.
  2. Click the Revoke and Generate New Token button.
  3. This will invalidate the previous token and all sessions using it.

Organization ID

Certain API integrations need the organization ID which can be found her, in the developer settings.
