In the API-Tokens area of your profile, you generate and manage API tokens. An external system uses an API token to authenticate its requests to the Tax Data Hub, for example when importing data via an interface.

The My Profile page is provided by Tax Administration for all Tax Compliance & Reporting modules. You can use the same token for several interfaces.
