What Access Token / API Key means
An access token (or API key) is the secret credential that authorises calls to the WhatsApp Business API. Every request to send a message, manage templates or read data must present a valid token, which proves the caller has permission to act on the account.
Tokens must be kept secret and are typically scoped and rotatable, so a leaked or unused key can be revoked without disrupting everything else. Treating tokens like passwords — never embedding them in client-side code — is a basic security requirement.
InfiQ lets you generate scoped API keys from the dashboard, so developers can make an authenticated call in minutes while keeping credentials manageable and revocable.
