22 Common development issues

22.1 Where can I find my Tercen token?

You can find your Tercen token by logging into your instance and navigating to:

https://YOUR_INSTANCE_URL/_token

For example: - If you work on tercen.com, go to: https://tercen.com/_token - If you work on a custom instance, replace YOUR_INSTANCE_URL with your actual domain

The token will be displayed on this page and can be copied for use in your development environment.
