# Token

Token (component_access_token) is the credential a third-party platform uses to call APIs. Each token is valid for 2 hours, so you must manage it well and call the API again to get a new token before expiration (e.g., at 1 hour 50 minutes).

Unless otherwise specified, the token is generally used as the value of the GET parameter component_access_token of the called API.
