# Generate a token

### URL

<mark style="color:green;">**POST**</mark> `https://api.complycube.com/v1/tokens`

Generates an SDK token.

### Headers

<table><thead><tr><th width="281">Name</th><th width="100">Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>Content-Type</code><mark style="color:red;">*</mark></td><td>string</td><td>The content-type must always be set to <code>application/json</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><code>Authorization</code><mark style="color:red;">*</mark></td><td>string</td><td>The API <code>live</code> or <code>test</code> key.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Body

<table><thead><tr><th width="283">Name</th><th width="98">Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>clientId</code><mark style="color:red;">*</mark></td><td>string</td><td>The ID of the client.</td></tr><tr><td><code>referrer</code></td><td>string</td><td>The referrer URI pattern for the Web SDK. You can find <a href="#the-referrer-attribute">more details</a> below. <strong>This is only required for the Web SDK.</strong></td></tr><tr><td><code>appId</code></td><td>string</td><td>The iOS or Android application or bundle ID. <strong>This is only required for the Mobile SDKs.</strong></td></tr></tbody></table>

#### The `referrer` attribute

The referrer attribute specifies the URI of the web page where you will use the Web SDK. The referrer sent by the browser must match the referrer URI pattern in the JWT for the SDK to authenticate successfully.

The referrer is based on the Google Chrome [match pattern](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/match_patterns) URIs. URIs can contain wild card characters.

The referrer pattern included in the JWT guarantees that other malicious websites cannot reuse the JWT if it is lost.

### Example request for Web SDK

});
```

{% endtab %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.complycube.com/documentation/api-reference/other-resources/tokens/generate-a-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
