# Authentication

API authentication in Medianova is managed through secure token generation in the [Medianova Control Panel](https://cloud.medianova.com). After creating a token, you will receive your API credentials (API Key and Secret), which authorize access to analytics and operational endpoints across the platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
Each token remains valid for 30 days and can be renewed anytime from the Medianova Control Panel.
{% endhint %}

To view or manage your tokens, log in to the Medianova Control Panel, navigate to **Profile → My Account → API Tokens**, and click **Generate Token** to create a new credential. Store the generated token securely — it will be displayed only once.
