# IPNS Manager API

## Auth Token

An Auth Token is a token used for identity verification and authorization purposes. To utilize the 4EVERLAND IPNS Manager API, you need to first create an Auth Token on the 4EVERLAND Dashboard.

You can do so by navigating to your 4EVERLAND Dashboard, selecting Gateway > Auth Token, and then clicking "Generate".
