Use long-living tokens

Warning

Long-living tokens are highly privileged tokens that bypass user review and the approval process, and give access to all public keys of the associated wallet.

If using this process, be sure you are comfortable allowing that level of access to your keys.

Enable the support for long-living tokens

This is only needed once, the first time you use long-living tokens.

vegawallet api-token init

Generate a long-living token

Generate a token, and link it to the wallet of your choice:

vegawallet api-token generate --wallet-name "WALLET_NAME" --description "for my trading bot"

Start the service with long-living token support

If you forget the --load-tokens flag, sessions with long-living tokens are not created.

vegawallet service run --load-tokens --network mainnet1

Good to know!

If you have a running service (with the --load-tokens flags), you don't have to restart it. The generated token will be picked up automatically.
