How to get your Workable API Token and Subdomain: Step-by-step guide

April 24, 2023

Workable supports authentication with API Token and Subdomain. To connect, you'll need to generate secure API Token and Subdomain from your account settings.

This short guide shows you how to generate one, whether you're testing in your sandbox or helping customers connect their Workable account.

Generate an API access token

This guide shows how to generate an API access token for your Workable account.

To start, open the drop-down menu on the top right of your screen and select "Integrations" or press here:

Now click on the "Generate new token" button:

Once you click the generate button, you'll see the new access token being generated:

This token type does not support r_employees scope. There are also new scopes like w_employees and r_account that are not currently supported by access tokens already used for ATS related endpoints. You need to contact support to enable them for your account tokens.

Subdomain

You will also need the account subdomain which you can find in the company profile settings page:

Revoking The Access Token

Be aware that you can revoke this access token anytime, but if you decide to proceed, every script or application that accesses the Workable API through this token will stop functioning. To keep things running smoothly after revoking your current token, you will have to generate a new access token and update every script or application bound to the previous one.

You've now retrieved your Workable API Token and Subdomain. That's one system covered, but scaling integrations one by one means repeating this process hundreds of times.
