# How to create tokens ## Introduction Application and Client tokens are essential in the way PlayerServers communicates with your panel and thus need to be correctly set with appropriate privileges. ## How to create Application Token In order to create an application token, please navigate to the Pterodactyl admin interface, and select "Application API"

Afterwards, click on the blue Create New button on the top right and make sure to fill the fields just like on the image below.

As that's done, you'll receive your application token which you need to put in your `config.yml`. ## How to create Client Token In order to create an application token, please navigate to the Pterodactyl admin interface and click on your profile icon on the top right.

After that, navigate to the API Credentials tab.

From here, create a new API key. Name it whatever you want and click create. Optionally, add the IP address of your BungeeCord instance to prevent unauthorised access to your API key. From there, proceed by putting the newly generated API key to your `config.yml` file. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
