Error: "The access token provided is invalid"

Recently the owner/credentials of our account have changed, is there a new token we need to use? Is this visible/available from our account?

Where are you getting the error from?

  • Cloud REST API. You should be using API users that don't expire, or you can create a token using particle token create in the Particle CLI that does not expire.
  • Particle CLI. Use particle login. The CLI tokens expire every 3 months.
  • Particle Workbench: Use command palette Particle: Login. Tokens are shared with the Particle CLI.

Error is coming from Postman

You'll need to generate a new token using particle token create and set it following these instructions.
