Creating Sell OAuth Tokens via API in Zendesk

Discover why you can't create Sell OAuth access tokens via API in Zendesk and learn how to generate tokens through the interface instead.

Can I create a Sell OAuth access token via API in Zendesk?

Unfortunately, you cannot create a Sell OAuth access token via API in Zendesk. By design, there is no endpoint available to programmatically create API tokens. Zendesk primarily uses OAuth tokens for API authentication.

If you need to create API tokens, this must be done through the Zendesk interface by an administrator. Users can generate their own API tokens by navigating to 'My Profile' > 'API' and creating a new token. Administrators can also create tokens for users by managing their API token settings in the user's profile.
