# Authorizing the APIs In order to use the APIs you will need a token: this can be created from the account dashboard of any paid plan. Just copy the token value as a UUID directly from the web interface, it should be something like **`4333beb0-5506-438d-b590-6a3a3094adfb`** for example. Once you have a token, you will need to authorise API calls using your token. Access the [Swagger API page](https://www.meterian.com/documentation/swagger-ui.html) and click on the green "Authorize" button and enter, as an API key, the string "token" followed by a space and your token, like in this example:

Once you enter the token, just click on "Authorize" and, from now on, all the calls made through the interface will be executed using your account.
