  Creates a new token for runner authentication.

  runnerId: "d2c94c27-3b76-4a42-b88c-95a85e392c68"
  ```

### Parameters

    using the IdentityService.ExchangeToken rpc. The token expires after 24 hours.

### Example

```python
import os
from gitpod import Gitpod

client = Gitpod(
    bearer_token=os.environ.get("GITPOD_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
response = client.runners.create_runner_token(
    runner_id="d2c94c27-3b76-4a42-b88c-95a85e392c68",
)
print(response.access_token)
```

#### Response
