# Update API token

PATCH https://%7BYour_Space_Name%7D.signalwire.com/api/project/tokens/{token_id}
Content-Type: application/json

Changes the name or enabled permission categories of an existing project API token. Use it to rotate a token's responsibilities without replacing its identifier; remove permissions that the token's server-side caller no longer needs. For the account-scoped Compatibility API route, use [Update an API Token](/docs/compatibility-api/rest/tokens/update-token).

The response contains the token's `id`, `name`, and `permissions` only. The token secret is returned once, by [Create API token](/docs/apis/rest/project-tokens/create-token), and cannot be retrieved afterwards.

#### Permissions

With a project API token, the token must have the following scope(s) enabled to make a successful request: _Management_.

With a [Personal access token](/docs/apis/authorization#personal-access-tokens) there are no scopes. The token holder must be an owner or admin of the space, and the request reaches only the projects the holder is enabled for, plus their subprojects.

[Learn more about API scopes](/docs/platform/your-signalwire-api-space).

#### Token Permissions

You can modify the functions allowed by this API Token by selecting which types of requests this API Token is allowed to make.

Valid options are: calling, chat, datasphere, fax, management, messaging, numbers, pubsub, storage, tasking, and video

Reference: https://signalwire.com/docs/apis/rest/project-tokens/update-token

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (basic auth, required) — SignalWire Basic Authentication using Project ID and API Token. The client sends HTTP requests with the Authorization header containing the word Basic followed by a space and a base64-encoded string of project_id:token. The project ID will be used as the username and the API token as the password. Example: ``` Authorization: Basic base64(project_id:token) ```
- `Authorization` header (basic auth, required) — Personal access token authentication for space-wide administration. Send HTTP Basic auth with an empty username and the Personal access token as the password. A Personal access token carries your own authority rather than a project's: it is created from your user menu in the Dashboard, is prefixed `pat_`, and has no scopes. The holder must be an owner or admin of the space named by the subdomain, and the token acts only on that space. Example: ``` Authorization: Basic base64(:pat_...) ```

## Request

### Path parameters

- `token_id` (string, required) — The unique identifier of the token to update.

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a Project.UpdateTokenRequest.

- `name` (string, optional) — The name representing the API token.
- `permissions` (list of enum, optional) — The permissions you would like to enable for this token. Valid permissions are calling, chat, datasphere, fax, management, messaging, numbers, pubsub, storage, tasking, and video
  - Allowed values: `calling`, `chat`, `datasphere`, `fax`, `management`, `messaging`, `numbers`, `pubsub`, `storage`, `tasking`, `video`

## Response

### 200

The request has succeeded.

- `id` (string, required) — The ID of the API Token.
- `name` (string, required) — The name of the API Token.
- `permissions` (list of enum, required) — The permissions enabled for this token.
  - Allowed values: `calling`, `chat`, `datasphere`, `fax`, `management`, `messaging`, `numbers`, `pubsub`, `storage`, `tasking`, `video`

## Errors

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Access is unauthorized.

- `error` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `Unauthorized`

### 404 Not Found Error

The server cannot find the requested resource.

- `error` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `Not Found`

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

The request failed validation. A `project_id` the Personal access token holder cannot reach returns `invalid_project_id`, and a `subproject_id` that is not a child of the resolved project returns `invalid_subproject_id`. A blank `name` or an empty `permissions` array returns a standard validation error.

- `errors` (list of Types.StatusCodes.RestApiErrorItem, required) — List of validation errors.

### 500 Internal Server Error

An internal server error occurred.

- `error` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `Internal Server Error`

## Types

### Types.StatusCodes.RestApiErrorItem

Details about a specific error.

- `type` (string, required) — The category of error.
- `code` (string, required) — A specific error code.
- `message` (string, required) — A description of what caused the error.
- `url` (string, required) — A link to documentation about this error.
- `attribute` (string, optional, nullable) — The request parameter that caused the error, if applicable.
