# Create Environment Access Token

> Creates an access token for the environment.

`Unary` · [`Environments`](/docs/api-reference/generated/environment/overview)

Creates an access token for the environment.

Generated tokens are valid for one hour and provide environment-specific access permissions.
The token is scoped to a specific environment.

### Examples

* Generate environment token:

  Creates a temporary access token for accessing an environment.

  ```yaml theme={null}
  environmentId: "07e03a28-65a5-4d98-b532-8ea67b188048"
  ```

## Endpoint

```text theme={null}
POST /api/gitpod.v1.EnvironmentService/CreateEnvironmentAccessToken
```

Send a Bearer token as described in [Authentication](/docs/api-reference#authenticate-requests). If your organization uses a custom management-plane domain, replace `https://app.ona.com` with that domain.

## Request example

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  export ONA_HOST=https://app.ona.com
  export ONA_API_KEY=<your-token>

  curl --request POST \
    --url "$ONA_HOST/api/gitpod.v1.EnvironmentService/CreateEnvironmentAccessToken" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $ONA_API_KEY" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{
    "environmentId": "<environment-id>"
  }'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}

      environment_id="<environment-id>",
  )
  response = ona.services.environment.create_environment_access_token(request)
  print(response)
  ```
