Creating a Read-Only API Token in Fastly

You can add your Fastly CDN to IO River in Read-Only mode and use it for monitoring and traffic steering (you won’t be able to modify its configuration). To create a read-only API token, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Fastly account
  2. Navigate to the Account settings (choose the user dropdown, and select Account)
  3. Select the API Tokens tab
  4. Click Create Token
  5. Fill the new token form:
    • Name - for example “ioriver-api-token”
    • Type - Select Automation token
    • Scope
      • Check Global API access
      • Check Read-only access
    • Access - Select All services
    • Expiration - Select Never expire
  6. Click Create Token

Save the created token, and provide it to the IO River support team to add your Fastly CDN in Read-Only mode.
