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

Read-only access tokens allow you to read the content and assets in one specific space. In a space, navigate to Settings > Access Tokens to manage all of its 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. Read more about private assets and how to use them in your website in the assets concept.
• Theme: Access a theme for use by the Storyblok rendering service. The Storyblok rendering service is now deprecated.
• Release: Access content associated with a specific release. Requires the Releases App.

Below is an example using the @storyblok/js SDK to fetch content from the Content Delivery API:

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

/* use a public or preview access token */
const { storyblokApi } = storyblokInit({
  accessToken: "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN",
  use: [apiPlugin],
});

const { data } = await storyblokApi.get("cdn/stories", { version: "draft" });

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).

OAuth access token

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