</Note>

## 2. Create an API token

After signing in, you will be redirected to the [My Account](https://cnpj-api.com/en/my-account) page. To create your token:

1. Click **Create new token**
2. Choose a label to identify the token (e.g. `my-app-production`)
3. Click **Create**

<Warning>
  The token is shown **only once**. Copy and store it securely before closing the page.
</Warning>

## 3. Use the token

Add the token to your requests via URL parameter or HTTP header:

```bash theme={null}
curl "https://api.cnpj-api.com/v1/cnpj/12345678000195?token=YOUR_TOKEN"
```

See [Authentication](/en/autenticacao) for all available methods.

* **Create** new tokens
* **Rotate** an active token (generates a new one, keeping the old one active until revoked)
* **Revoke** a token to disable it immediately
