# Copy a token or download its config file

All your tokens for a project are in **Manage Tokens**. From there you can copy a token's value again and
download a file that holds the token and its API key.

## See your tokens

In TIR, open your project. In the side menu, under **PLATFORM SERVICES**, select **Personal Access
Tokens**. These are the tokens you created in this project. Each stops working on its **Expiry** date, 365
days after you created it.

## Copy a token

In the token's row, use the copy action in **Auth Token**. The whole token goes to your clipboard, ready to paste.
You can copy it as often as you like until the token is deleted or expires.

## Download the config file

In the token's row, use the download action in **Config File**. Your browser saves a file named
`config.json`. It holds three values: the token's `api_key`, its `auth_token`, and your project ID. Tools
and scripts that need the API key as well as the token read it from this file. Treat the file like a
password: anyone who has it can call the API as you.

To use the values, see [Use a token in API calls](/tir/personal-access-tokens/how-to/use-a-token-in-api-calls/).
