In an application i would just have a token handler but i can't see how that is possible in retool?

Where do i find my "YourTokenData" part?
Hello @HMir -- welcome!
You should be able to see the token in your response data if you authorize through something like Postman:
In the example above, I would be using {{ http1.body.data.accessToken }} as that is the structure of the response object from the API. The http1.body is the base object that the Retool resource returns as the response, and then the data property has the accessToken property. In this example, you would also be able to access the status.code and status.id values.
