description: 'How to access NocoDB APIs with Auth or API token?'
---
NocoDB APIs can be authorized by either Auth Token or API Token.
## Auth Token
Auth Token is a JWT Token generated based on the logged-in user. By default, the token is only valid for 10 hours. However, you can change the value by defining it using environment variable `NC_JWT_EXPIRES_IN`. If you are passing Auth Token, make sure that the header is called `xc-auth`.
- Go to NocoDB Project, click the rightmost button and click ``Copy Auth Token``.
## API Token
API tokens allows us to integrate seamlessly with 3rd party apps. See [API Tokens Management](../setup-and-usages/team-and-auth#api-tokens-management) for more.
## Swagger UI
You can interact with the API's resources via Swagger UI.
- Go to NocoDB Project, click the rightmost button and click ``Swagger APIs Doc``.
- Click ``Authorize``, paste the token you copied in above steps and click `Authorize` to save.
