How do you add a third-party application to your library?

This article will show you how to authorize a third party to access your library via the Apicbase API

Some of the steps in this guide require information that can only be provided by a third party. Make sure you've got in touch with them beforehand in order to know the full range of possibilities offered by their integration with Apicbase.

These integrations are managed by our partners, which means we are often limited in the amount of support we can provide. If you have questions or need to report an issue, please reach out to the partner managing the integration before contacting Apicbase support.

You can generate multiple tokens for the same library by repeating these steps:
