Restrict token use
API tokens can be restricted at runtime in two ways:
Client IP address range filtering
Client IP address restrictions control which IP addresses can make API requests with this token. By default, if no filtering is applied, all IP addresses can use the token. Once an Is in
rule is applied, the token can only be used from the defined IP addresses. Define ranges with CIDR notation. To allow an IP range with exceptions, define Is not in
to exempt specific IPs or smaller ranges.
Time to live (TTL) constraints
By default, tokens do not expire and are long lived. Defining a TTL sets when a token starts being valid and when a token is no longer valid. This is often referred to as notBefore
and notAfter
. Setting these timestamps limits the lifetime of the token to the defined period. Not setting the start date or notBefore
means the token is active as soon as it is created. Not setting the end date or notAfter
means the token does not expire.
