# Token Rotation

## Overview

You can rotate your Panther API token by calling the `rotateAPIToken` GraphQL API endpoint.

You can invoke Panther's API by using your Console's API Playground, or the GraphQL-over-HTTP API. Learn more about these methods on [Panther API](https://docs.panther.com/panther-developer-workflows/api/..#step-1-choose-a-method-for-invoking-the-api).

#### Rotate an API token

To rotate your Panther API token:

1. Perform the operation below to rotate the token.
   * ```graphql
     mutation rotateAPIToken() {
       rotateAPIToken() {
         token{ value }
       }
     }
     ```
   * Use the API token you'd like to rotate in the request headers.
   * The response payload will display the refreshed API token.
2. Copy the refreshed token—it will only be shown this once.

#### Example in the API Playground

Performed in the Panther Console's API Playground, `rotateAPIToken` looks like the following:
