# Get a Bearer Token

Limio app endpoints will normally need a Bearer token to be used. Tokens are generated as part of the authentication process and are valid for 1 hour. If you have user access to the Limio app you can obtain a token to use when executing requests into Limio.

## Obtaining a Token programmatically

You can obtain a token using the standard OAuth flow by performing different API requests. This is useful in case you need to automate a process. For more details on how to do this, visit our [developer docs here](https://docs.limio.com/developers/api-documentation/authentication-overview/oauth-bearer-token).

### Obtaining a Token manually <a href="#h_01je792fe9nsbpmz87v9twevxa" id="h_01je792fe9nsbpmz87v9twevxa"></a>

In case you need to execute one (or a few) specific request(s) quickly, the manual way to get a token is as follow:

1. Login to the app in the relevant environment using your user<br>

3. Find a request made into Limio api, you can type in the filter "api/"<br>

4. Press on the request (for example **user**) and on the Headers section locate the Authorization one
5. Copy the content (except for the word Bearer) and that's your token<br>

6. You can use it in Postman or any other tool for executing HTTP requests.
