# How to Manage Access Tokens

**What are Access Tokens?**

Access tokens are API credentials that allow you to securely authenticate programmatic requests to your inference endpoints. Instead of using your account credentials directly, you generate a scoped token that grants access only to the specific endpoints you choose. This ensures that your deployed models are only accessible to authorized clients and applications.

By default, tokens expire after **30 days**. You can set a custom expiration date. Once a token is deleted, any API requests using it will immediately fail.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.acecloud.ai/knowledge-base/ai-hub/how-to-manage-access-tokens.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
