View tokens in the InfluxDB UI

   Load Data

2. Click a token description in the list to view the token status and a list of access permissions.

View tokens using the influx CLI

Use the influx auth list command to view tokens.

Provide the following flags:

• --token: API token with permission to read authorizations

influx auth list --token 
API_TOKEN

Filtering options such as filtering by authorization ID, username, or user ID are available. See the influx auth list documentation for information about other available flags.

View tokens using the InfluxDB API

Use the /api/v2/authorizations InfluxDB API endpoint to view tokens and permissions.

GET https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/authorizations

• View a single token
• Filter the token list

Include the following in your request:

• Headers:
  • Authorization: Token API_TOKEN (API token with the read: authorizations permission)
  • Content-type: application/json

curl --request GET \
	"https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/authorizations" \
  --header "Authorization: Token 
API_TOKEN
" \
  --header 'Content-type: application/json'

View a single token

To view a specific authorization and token, include the authorization ID in the URL path.

GET https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/authorizations/{authID}

Include the following in your request:

• Headers:
  • Authorization: Token API_TOKEN (API token with the read: authorizations permission)
  • Content-type: application/json

curl --request GET \
	"https://us-west-2-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/authorizations/
AUTHORIZATION_ID
" \
  --header "Authorization: Token 
API_TOKEN
" \
  --header 'Content-type: application/json'

Filter the token list

InfluxDB returns authorizations from the same organization as the token used in the request. To filter tokens by user, include userID as a query parameter in your request.

# The example below uses the common `curl` and `jq` command-line tools
# with the InfluxDB API to do the following:
# 1. Find a user by username and extract the user ID.
# 2. Find the user's authorizations by user ID.
# 3. Filter for `active` authorizations that have `write` permission.

function list_write_auths() {
  curl "https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/users/?name=$1" \
    --header "Authorization: Token 
API_TOKEN
" \
    --header 'Content-type: application/json' | \
  
  jq --arg USER $1 '.users[] | select(.name == $USER) | .id' | \
  
  xargs -I '%' \
  curl "https://cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/authorizations/?userID=%" \
    --header "Authorization: Token 
API_TOKEN
" \
    --header 'Content-type: application/json' | \
  
  jq '.authorizations[]
        | select(.permissions[] | select(.action=="write"))
        | select(.status=="active")'
}
