Developer Tools

Use Developer Tools to create and manage access tokens for the 7shifts API. Most admins only need this page when a developer or third party integration partner asks for a token to connect a tool to your account. You can also use it to see which apps have access to your account, and to remove that access.

⚠️ API key authentication is deprecated. As of August 31, 2022 API key authentication is no longer recommended. If your company has already generated an API key, you will continue to have access to it. If you require a new API key you will be able to create one, although it is only recommended if the integration you are using does not use a supported authentication method.

Generate an Access Token

  1. Log in to the web app as an Admin.
  2. In the left navigation bar, head to Settings > Developer Tools.
  3. Click on + Create access tokens.


You may wish to use third-party integrations for applications that are not offered as one of 7shifts's built-in integrations. If this is the case, you'll be able to see the applications or platforms that you have granted permission to access the API endpoints for your 7shifts account, under Connected Apps:

If a connection is no longer needed, for any reason, you can disconnect and remove the platform's application by revoking access:

  2. In the left navigation bar, head to Settings > Developer Tools.
  3. Scroll to the section Connected Apps.
  4. Click on the More options icon beside the application.
  5. Select Revoke access:
  6. Click on Revoke access once more to confirm this action. Please note that this action cannot be undone:
     
  7. After this, the application will no longer have access to your 7shifts account. Should you need to reconnect it down the line, you will need to reach out the to team that had set up the initial connection.
