  3. Open the Tokens tab.
  4. Select Add new API token.
  5. Enter a Name for your token, like n8n integration.
  6. Select Save.
  7. Copy the API Token and enter it in your n8n credential.
  8. Enter the Host of your NocoDB instance in your n8n credential, for example http://localhost:8080.

Using user auth token#

Before NocoDB deprecated it, user auth token was a temporary token designed for quick experiments with the API, valid for a session until the user logs out or for 10 hours.

  1. Log into NocoDB and select the User menu in the bottom left sidebar.
  2. Select Copy Auth token.
