Connect Xano with Private Swagger

This guide walks you through the steps to generate and use the Metadata API token during the database integration process if your Swagger documentation in Xano is set to private.

Skill Level: Expert

Before You Begin

• You must have a Xano account and workspace setup.

• This step is only needed if your Swagger documentation in Xano is set to private.

• You must have a Team or Business Adalo plan to use this feature.

• This process assumes you’ve already started the Xano integration process in Adalo and reached the Metadata API token field.

Walkthrough

1. Go to Your Xano Account Page

   1. Log into your Xano Account and navigate to your Account page.

   2. Locate the Metadata API card and click Manage Access Tokens.

2. Generate a New Access Token

   1. Click New Access Token, select the permissions needed (make sure to include Metadata Access), and then click Save.

      

3. Paste Your Token into Adalo

   1. Once copied, paste your Metadata API token into the corresponding field in the Adalo Xano setup process.

Important: Make sure to copy the token immediately after it’s generated—you won’t be able to view it again later.

Help

As with all integrations, Adalo is only able to provide support for the Adalo side of the integration. For assistance with your Xano account, dashboard, or implementation, please use the Xano documentation, Xano community, Xano University, or contact Xano Support directly.
