# Access Token

To consume all the public RudderStack APIs, you will need access to them. This guide details the steps required to generate an access token and the operations associated with it.

## Operations on the Access Token

To use all the public RudderStack APIs, you will need an Access Token associated with your account. You can create your own Access Token by following the steps below:

* Log into your [**RudderStack dashboard**](https://app.rudderstack.com/).
* Click on the [**profile**](https://app.rudderstack.com/profile) tab from the left panel in the dashboard and choose[ **Personal Access Tokens**](https://app.rudderstack.com/profile/tokens) tab, as shown:

* Click on **Generate new token** option. Enter the token **name** in the popup and click on **Generate**, as shown:
