TRMNL's most popular API endpoints require a device-level token, which you can retrieve for any Developer edition enabled device from Devices > Edit > Developer Perks.
A device-level access token may be used to:
Send webhooks to a Private plugin / Recipe
Meanwhile, User-level API keys serve other purposes.
Where is my User API Key?
Generate a User API Key from your account tab:
βhttps://usetrmnl.com/account
What can a User API Key do?
A user-level access token may be used to:
Fetch plugin content (Data Mode)
Run local dev tools like trmnlp
Export private plugins to a zip file (for backup or sharing)
In the future, User API Keys will be able to access other account-level endpoints such as /devices
, /playlists
, and more.
