# Request an API token: legacy method

This guide is for existing token-based integrations. Direct API key authentication does not require a token-generation step.

Use `POST https://openapi.akool.com/api/open/v3/getToken` with the credentials described in [the current authentication documentation](https://docs.akool.com/authentication/usage).

Store the returned token securely. Use placeholders in examples and remove credentials from logs.
