How do I find my API/authentication token?

FreshBooks connects to a wide variety of tools and services called Add-ons. Instead of having to share your FreshBooks password with these Add-ons, your API/authentication token is used to securely connect these Add-ons to your account.

To get your API token, follow these steps:

  1. Go to My Account (top corner)
  2. Click on the FreshBooks API sub-tab
  3. Copy your Authentication Token here.
