Connect with an API token

1. In Fairwinds Polaris:

   1. In Fairwinds Insights (the hosted product that runs Polaris), open your organization's Settings page.
   2. Go to the Tokens page.
   3. Click Show Tokens and copy the organization token.

   Where to find the other values:

   • Base URL (optional): The Insights API is served from https://insights.fairwinds.com (API paths start with /v0/). Leave blank unless you run a self-hosted Insights.
   • Account / Org / Workspace (optional): Your Insights organization name, as used in the API path https://insights.fairwinds.com/v0/organizations/<your org>. Tokens are scoped to that organization.

   Open-source Polaris has no API or tokens; this applies to Fairwinds Insights. The docs say tokens are scoped to one organization but do not document a read-only token type, so least privilege cannot be chosen at creation. The page showing the organization name in the UI is not documented; it is taken from the API path example.

   Field	What to enter
