      Frequently Asked Questions

      Q: Can I use the same token for all UCD APIs?
      A: Yes, you can use the same token in all UCD APIs. However, depending on your product package, you may not be able to use the Upsert User Data API

      Q: Can I have multiple tokens at the same time?
      A: Yes, you can multiple tokens at the same time. Only the UCD API token is limited to a maximum of 5 tokens. If you want to generate new tokens, you need to delete at least 1 of the previously generated tokens.

      Q: Can all users generate the UCD tokens?
      A: No, only the users with Administrator permission can generate tokens. Users with other permissions are not allowed to complete this operation.

      Q: Can all users delete the previously generated UCD tokens?
      A: No, only the users with Administrator permission can delete tokens. Users with other permissions are not allowed to complete this operation

      Q: I have lost my token, and because of hashing on the listing page, I can’t access it fully. Can I get the same token again?
      A: No, for security reasons the generated tokens are fully visible only once after being generated. From that point, you will not be able to see the token fully. We highly recommend noting the generated token down or you can generate a new token for your project.
