1. Log in to the Uptimeify dashboard.
2. Open **Settings** > **API** in the dashboard.
3. Click **Create Token**, enter a name, and copy the generated secret.

Add the token to the `Authorization` header of your requests:

```http
Authorization: Bearer wsm_<your_api_token>
```

Uptimeify API tokens always start with `wsm_`. If your token does not have that prefix, you are likely using the wrong credential.
