Connect with an API token

In Persona:
1. In the Persona Dashboard, switch to the production environment and go to API › API Keys.
2. Create a new API key (needs a role with API key administration privileges) and copy it; production keys start with persona_production_.
3. On the key, choose Edit › Permissions and keep only read permissions (for example account.read), clearing any write permissions.
Persona's public documentation does not cover every step.
