Access Token Configuration

The access token is essential for connecting Blinko Snap with your Blinko server. This guide will help you set up and use your access token properly.

​
Getting Started

​
1. Accessing the Token

  • Open Blinko Snap settings from the system tray
  • Navigate to the “Settings” section
  • Locate the “Blinko Token” field

​
2. Token Format

Your access token will be in JWT format, starting with eyJ.... This token is used to authenticate your requests to the Blinko server.

​
Configuration Steps

  1. Copy the Token
    • The token will be displayed in the settings panel
    • Copy the entire token string carefully
    • Make sure not to include any extra spaces
  2. Verify Connection
    • After entering the token, Blinko Snap will automatically test the connection
    • A successful connection will allow you to start using the application
    • If connection fails, verify the token is entered correctly

​
API Testing

If you want to test the API directly, you can use the following cURL command: 
curl -X 'POST' 'http://127.0.0.1:1111/api/v1/note/upsert' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE' \
-d '{
  "content": "🎉 Hello, Blinko! --send from api",
  "type": 0
}'

​
Security Best Practices

  1. Token Protection
    • Keep your token secure and private
    • Don’t share your token with others
    • Regenerate token if you suspect it’s compromised
  2. Token Expiration
    • Tokens may expire after a certain period
    • If you experience authentication issues, try generating a new token

​
Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:
  1. Ensure the token is copied completely
  2. Check if the Blinko server is running
  3. Verify your network connection
  4. Try regenerating a new token
