3.3 About Tokens in Spatial Studio
Spatial Studio allows you to create different types of access tokens. In addition, starting from Release 23.2.1, a system generated access-generator token is supported for each Spatial Studio user.
The following describes the supported token types:
- Access Tokens:
- General-purpose token: Full access to all resources. The
token grants read-only or read-write access as required.
In most cases you should avoid using a general-purpose token as it grants too much access. Instead, generate and use a specific token that applies to your scenario.
- Streaming-only token: Access only to REST endpoints
related to dataset streaming. Also, the token grants read-only access that
be used only with
HTTP GET
methods. - Streaming and tile refreshing token: The scope of this token is extended to refresh the existing vector tiles of the streaming dataset on the recent updates.
- Embedding Published Projects token: This token allows embedding of private published projects.
See Generating an Access Token to create the preceding access tokens.
- General-purpose token: Full access to all resources. The
token grants read-only or read-write access as required.
- Access-Generator token: This is a special type of token that is
used to (programmatically) create short-lived access tokens (of types shown in the
preceding list under Access Tokens).
This token cannot be created or deleted directly. You can only copy the system generated access-generator token. Note that the system generates this token on a per-user basis. This implies that different Spatial Studio users will have different access-generator tokens.
Also, you can request Spatial Studio to regenerate the access-generator token for you.

- See Generating Access Tokens Programmatically for using the access-generator token.
