# Platform API Tokens

### Global concept

Platform API tokens are a way to call the Flagship API within your own integrations, in order to automate actions made on the Flagship Platform.

### How to create an API Token?

You can create an API Token in the Flagship platform in the Settings -> Platform Integration section

An API Token requires a single field to be created:

* **Name**: this field is a plain text field to remember what is the purpose of the Token.

### API Token use cases

Right now, the API Token is used for one purpose only: integrate Flagship with your git solution provider. See [Codebase Analyzer](doc:codebase-analyzer) for more details.

#### Codebase Integration

In that use case, the API Token is passed as an environment variable to the Flagship Codebase Analyzer when running your git solution pipeline.\
See [Codebase Analyzer](doc:codebase-analyzer) for more details.
