Get API access tokens for the CoreWeave Cloud Console

CoreWeave uses API Access Tokens to authenticate users and grant access to resources on the Console. This guide explains how to create and manage Access Tokens on the CoreWeave Cloud Console for Object Storage purposes.

Prerequisites

This guide assumes that you have an active CoreWeave account.

Create a new API Access Token

API Access Tokens must be created in the CoreWeave Cloud Console. To create a new Access Token, complete the following steps:

1. Click the Tokens button in the Cloud Console navigation, and then click the Create Token button in upper-right corner.

2. In the Create API Token dialog, configure the token values by filling in the following fields, and then click Create:

   Field	Description
   Name	The name of the token.
   Expiration	The length of time for which the Token is valid.
   Note	A description for future reference.

3. Pick one of the following options:

   Option	Description
   Token Secret	Copy and store the token secret for use cases like scraping logs, metrics, and setting up your own self-hosted Grafana, or to add the token secret to an existing kubeconfig.
   Kubeconfig	Create and download a kubeconfig for a specific cluster to interact with the cluster using commands like kubectl. Note that a Kubeconfig can access multiple Clusters by switching contexts.

   Warning

   These sensitive values are never shown again after closing the modal. Be sure to record them in a secure location.

The API token displayed at the top of the modal and the Token Secret displayed near the bottom are required values for Object Storage access, be sure to note them.
