Adding API Tokens
Last updated on 07 October, 2024You can use LogicMonitor REST API v3 to add API tokens. You must authenticate yourself before making the API request.
Note: Although all POST parameters are optional for this resource, an empty payload still needs to include a set of curly braces {}.
URI: POST /setting/admins/{adminID}/apitokens
| Parameter | Type | Description |
adminID | Integer | (Mandatory) The ID of the user for which you want to add API token. |
type | String | The default value is API token. |
note | String | Note associated with the API token. Example – “note“:”John Doe’s API Token” |
status | Integer | Indicates whether or not the API token is enabled. Accepted values are 1 and 2 where 1 indicates disabled and 2 indicates enabled. |
The following Python script adds a set of API tokens for user with ID 32.

#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))
#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + data + resourcePath
#Construct signature
digest = hmac.new(

msg=requestVars.encode('utf-8'),

signature = base64.b64encode(digest.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8')
#Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + str(signature) + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth,'X-Version':3}
# Make request
response = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)
# Print status and body of response
print('Response Status:',response.status_code)
print('Response Body:',response.content)Python 3
