Access Tokens

Storyblok offers a rich set of APIs and services for delivering and managing content and assets. Tokens protect access to these services.

Read-only access tokens

Use read-only access tokens to view the content and assets in a specific space. To manage per-space tokens and generate new ones, select the space and open Settings → Access Tokens.

The following types of tokens are available:

Public: access published content using the Content Delivery API.
Preview: access draft and published content using the Content Delivery API.
Asset: access private assets using the Content Delivery API.
Release: access content associated with a specific release. Requires the Releases App.
Theme: access a theme for use by the Storyblok rendering service. Note: the Storyblok rendering service is deprecated.

The following snippet uses the @storyblok/js SDK to fetch unpublished stories from the Content Delivery API:

import { apiPlugin, storyblokInit } from '@storyblok/js';

const { storyblokApi } = storyblokInit({
  accessToken: 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
  use: [apiPlugin],
});

// Use a public or preview access token
const { data } = await storyblokApi.get('cdn/stories', {
  version: 'draft',
});

Find other languge-specific snippets in the Content Delivery API authentication section.

Read-write access tokens

Use these tokens to perform CRUD operations via the Management API.

Personal access token

This token is account-specific and can be generated in the account settings: My account → Account settings → Personal access tokens.S

OAuth access token

This token is obtained via the OAuth2 authentication flow and is tied to a single space.
