List database tokens

Use the influxctl CLI or the Management HTTP API to list database tokens in your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.

List database tokens Retrieve a database token by ID

List database tokens

  1. If you haven’t already, download and install the influxctl CLI, and then configure an influxctl connection profile for your cluster.2. In your terminal, run the influxctl token list command and provide the following:

    influxctl token list --format table
    

This example uses cURL to send a Management HTTP API request, but you can use any HTTP client.

  1. If you haven’t already, follow the instructions to install cURL for your system.

  2. In your terminal, use cURL to send a request to the following InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated endpoint:

    GET https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID/tokens

    In the URL, provide the following credentials:

    Provide the following request headers:

The following example shows how to use the Management API to list database tokens:

curl \
   --location "https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/
ACCOUNT_ID
/clusters/
CLUSTER_ID
/tokens"
\
--header "Accept: application/json" \ --header "Authorization: Bearer
MANAGEMENT_TOKEN
"

Replace the following in your request:

  • ACCOUNT_ID: the ID of the InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated account to create the database token for
  • CLUSTER_ID: the ID of the InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster to create the database token for
  • MANAGEMENT TOKEN: a management token for your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster

Retrieve a database token by ID

To retrieve a specific database token by ID, send a request to the following InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated endpoint:

GET https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID/tokens/TOKEN_ID

In the URL, provide the following:

Provide the following request headers:

curl \
 --location "https://console.influxdata.com/api/v0/accounts/
ACCOUNT_ID
/clusters/
CLUSTER_ID
/tokens/
TOKEN_ID
"
\
--header "Accept: application/json" \ --header "Authorization: Bearer
MANAGEMENT_TOKEN
"
\

Replace the following:

  • ACCOUNT_ID: the ID of the InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated account to create the database token for
  • CLUSTER_ID: the ID of the InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster to create the database token for
  • MANAGEMENT TOKEN: a management token for your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster
  • TOKEN_ID: a database token ID

Output formats

The influxctl token list command supports two output formats: table and json. By default, the command outputs the list of tokens formatted as a table.

The Management API outputs JSON format in the response body.

Detailed output in JSON

For additional token details and easier programmatic access to the command output, include --format json with your command to format the list as JSON.

influxctl token list --format json

The output is a JSON array of token objects that include additional fields such as token ID and permissions.
