# Create an API token in Jira on Atlassian cloud **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
You need an API token to [integrate with Jira](index.md)
|
|
on Atlassian cloud. To create the API token:
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in to [`id.atlassian.com`](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens)
|
|
with your email address. Use an account with *write* access to Jira projects.
|
|
1. Go to **Settings > Atlassian account settings > Security > Create and manage API tokens**.
|
|
1. Select **Create API token** to display a modal window with an API token.
|
|
1. In the dialog, enter a label for your token and select **Create**.
|
|
1. To copy the API token, select **Copy**, then paste the token somewhere safe. You need this value when you
|
|
[configure GitLab](configure.md).
|
|
|
|
You need the newly created token, and the email
|
|
address you used when you created it, when you
|
|
[configure GitLab](configure.md).
