Authentication

Last updated: 8/26/2026

All Talend Cloud REST APIs are using access tokens for authentication.

These tokens could be personal access tokens for human users and service account tokens for non-human entities, that is to say, service accounts.

You should use these access tokens as Bearer tokens in the Authentication header parameter of your APIs requests.

For further information about how to generate a personal access token, see Generating a Personal Access Token.
Information noteNote: Be sure to keep your personal access token private. If it is accidentally exposed, you can remove it from your Profile preferences page.
For further information about service access tokens, see Generating a service account token.

Take personal access tokens for example:

In your scripts, as in the following cURL example:

curl -i -X GET \
   -H "Authorization:Bearer <your_personal_token>" \
 'https://api.eu.cloud.talend.com/processing/runtimes/remote-engine'

When testing Talend Cloud APIs directly from the Swagger pages where they are documented:
