Description |
|
Token |
Your project token is used whenever you want to send data (events or people) to Mixpanel. Your token is public, and is the only project-specific object required to send data to Mixpanel. Since Mixpanel users can have multiple projects, and each project has its own project token, whenever you want to send data to a specific project, you'll need to specify the project token so we know where to send the data. |
|
API Key
|
Your API key acts as both a unique identifier and a token for authentication. It will generally have a set of access rights on the API associated with it. Your API key will correspond to the project you wish to consume from. |
|
API Secret |
This is a secret API key corresponding to your project. You should never share this API secret or send it over email. You will use your secret to sign an API call, and it is required to extract data from your Mixpanel project. |
| Reset | The location to reset the API Key and API Secret for the project. To reset the API Key and API Secret, see "Resetting Project API Key and API Secrets". |
