Personal Access Tokens

Personal Access Tokens (PATs) are secure, time-bound credentials used to:

• Authenticate to the Yeedu API
• Integrate Yeedu with tools like Airflow, ADF, Databricks
• Replace sensitive password-based authentication flows

Tokens are user-scoped and can be revoked at any time.

Best Practices

• Name wisely: Use clear comments (e.g., Test ADF trigger, Databricks token)
• Revoke unused tokens regularly to maintain security
• Track expiry: Renew or replace tokens before they expire
