Access tokens allow covered entities to grant Partners the permissions needed to submit and retrieve data through the API and SDKs. Partners must obtain access tokens through Beacon Support before any covered entity can authorize them for access.
What are Partner Access Tokens?
Partner access tokens are unique identifiers issued during Partner onboarding. These tokens allow a covered entity to formally associate a Partner with their Beacon account and determine what the Partner can do on their behalf.
Access tokens do not authenticate API calls themselves — authentication is handed using a separate private token. Instead, tokens act as a link that lets covered entities grant a Partner permissions.
How Partners Obtain an Access Token
Partners can obtain an access token by completing onboarding with Beacon Support, at which time Beacon verifies the Partner organization and issues both an access token and private token directly to the Partner.
Access Token – Partners share with covered entities so covered entities can grant them permissions to access data through API.
Private Token – A secure credential Partners use to authenticate their API request to Beacon, which should not be shared.
Partners must have both tokens and use them correctly for successful, authorized API and SDK interactions.
