# 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](https://xano.com) 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.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** Make sure to copy the token immediately after it’s generated—you won’t be able to view it again later.
{% endhint %}
## 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](https://docs.xano.com/), Xano [community](https://community.xano.com/), [Xano University](https://www.youtube.com/nocodebackend), or contact [Xano Support](https://www.xano.com/contact/) directly.
If you need additional help with this article, you can always ask in our[ community forum](https://forum.adalo.com/)! Be sure to paste the link to this article in your post as well! We also have a [Xano Course on the Adalo App Academy](https://appacademy.adalo.com/course/getting-started-with-xano) that you may find helpful!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.adalo.com/integrations/xano-integration/connect-xano-with-private-swagger.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
