Tokens

• Resource-scoped tokens are defined in datafiles.
• Tinybird tracks and updates resource-scoped tokens from datafile contents.

Scopes and usage:

• DATASOURCES:READ:datasource_name => TOKEN <token_name> READ in .datasource files
• DATASOURCES:APPEND:datasource_name => TOKEN <token_name> APPEND in .datasource files
• PIPES:READ:pipe_name => TOKEN <token_name> READ in .pipe files

Examples:

TOKEN app_read READ
TOKEN landing_append APPEND

For operational tokens (not tied to resources):

tb token create static new_admin_token --scope <scope>

Scopes: TOKENS, ADMIN, ORG_DATASOURCES:READ, WORKSPACE:READ_ALL.

JWT Tokens

JWT tokens have a TTL and can only use PIPES:READ or DATASOURCES:READ scopes. They are intended for end users calling endpoints or reading datasources without exposing a master API key.

Create a JWT token:

tb token create jwt my_jwt_token --ttl 1h --scope PIPES:READ --resource my_pipe

Datasource read with filter:

tb token create jwt my_jwt_token --ttl 1h --scope DATASOURCES:READ --resource my_datasource --filter "column = 'value'"

Multiple scopes and resources (counts must match), with optional fixed params for PIPES:READ:

tb token create jwt my_jwt_token --ttl 1h \
  --scope PIPES:READ --resource my_pipe --fixed-params "k1=v1,k2=v2" \
  --scope DATASOURCES:READ --resource my_datasource --filter "column = 'value'"
