Is it possible to export events using an API token?

I’m looking at the docs for the export API which documents how to use an API key/secret key combo to authenticate with the API. Is it possible to use an API token to authenticate with the export API?

HI Diana H

Looks like API tokens can be used to authenticate mostly to Amplitude Data.
Export API uses API key and secret key for authorization currently.

Maybe Amplitude Admin can chime in more.

Thanks Saish Redkar for jumping in. Diana H Do you need additional support? I’m handing this off to Esther Trapadoux, who will be able to assist.

Saish Redkar thanks for the help here! Diana H were you able to find your answer? If not, some additional detail would be helpful. What API Token are you looking to create and what is the purpose of the API Token? You can see the API key and Secret key in each project under Org Settings > Projects. The API key here can be used to ingest data into Amplitude. The secret key is needed when exporting the data from Amplitude.
