Overview
Developer Zone is where Enterprise organisations create and manage API tokens for the 9Pic API. Each token lets an external service (your website, a partner app, an internal tool) read your organisation’s data through the API.
Open Developer Zone
Open the dashboard
Log in to admin.9pic.ai.
Select your Enterprise organisation
Use the organisation selector in the sidebar. If your active organisation is not on Enterprise, Developer Zone shows an upgrade message instead.
If no organisation is selected, the page asks you to choose one from the sidebar first.
Admin API Tokens
The Admin API Tokens panel lists every token your organisation has created. Each row shows:| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Token | The first five characters of the token followed by ***. The full token is never shown again after creation. |
| Status | Active (the token can be used) or Inactive (the token is paused and cannot be used). |
| Created By | The email of the team member who created the token. |
| Created At | The date the token was created. |
| Actions | An Active/Inactive toggle and a Delete button. |
Each organisation can have up to 10 tokens at a time. When you reach the limit, the Create Token button is disabled and a message tells you to delete an existing token first.
Create a Token
Confirm creation
A confirmation dialog explains that the full token will be shown only once. Click Create Token to continue, or Cancel to go back.
Copy the token
A second dialog shows the full token in a read-only field. Click the copy icon next to it to copy the token to your clipboard. Store it somewhere safe.
Activate or Deactivate a Token
Use the Active/Inactive switch in the token row to pause or resume a token without deleting it.- Turn the switch off to deactivate the token. Any service using it loses access immediately.
- Turn the switch on to reactivate the token. The original token value continues to work.
Deactivating is reversible. If you only need to temporarily block a token (for example while you investigate a leak), deactivate it instead of deleting it.
Delete a Token
Use the Token with the API
Once you have a token, use it as a bearer credential when calling the 9Pic API. Endpoint details, request examples, and response shapes live in the API Reference tab of these docs.API Authentication

No. The full token value is shown only once, right after creation. If you lose it, delete the token from the table and create a new one, then update any service that was using the old token.
What happens to API calls when I deactivate a token?
