Creating a Personal Access Token

A Personal Access Token (PAT) in the Wiser Home Essential API is a secure way to authenticate and authorize access to the API. It verifies your identity and grants specific permissions, allowing you to perform actions like reading or writing data within the Wiser Home system.

You can use a Personal Access Token (PAT) as a Bearer Token to authorize your API calls.

IMPORTANT: Your Personal Access Token serves as a credential that grants you access to your own data. Ensure that you keep it secure and never share it publicly.

To create:

On the Wiser Home Essential API page, click PAT.
The Personal Access Token window appears.
TIP: You can also navigate to the Personal Access Token (PAT) window by clicking View Credentials > Personal Access Token.
On the top-right pane, click + Generate New Token.
The Generate New Personal Access Token screen appears.
In the Token Name field, enter a name.
In the Expiration field, select the number of days you want to provide access.
In the Select Scopes fields, select the following options as per your need:
- Select All: Allows you to select both read and write access at a time.
- read:wiser: Allows you to read the wiser data.
- write:wiser: Allows you to edit the options you want.
Select the Terms & Conditions check box.
Click GENERATE TOKEN.

The token is now successfully generated and is used as a Bearer token to fetch the API calls.
