# Connect Xano with Private Swagger

*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.

   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**.\

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.
