when I copied token for usage at custom application, it shows as “\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*mpo4”, Is there a way to get token as readable format and can be used at custom application?

Hi @capping-akhoond-2, thank you for joining our community! In regards to this, there has been a recent change from our side where the tokens are masked after you have created and copied the token once. This change is done for security purposes.

We would advise you to always remember and copy the app token upon creation and store it in your secured personal storage (ie: personal note).

Kindly proceed to create a new API token, if you’re no longer able to copy your existing masked API token. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

You may find our available Deriv API Explorer at [API Explorer | Deriv API](https://api.deriv.com/api-explorer) to be a valuable tool. It allows you to interact with our API endpoints and understand their functionalities in a practical manner.

We hope this clarifies. If you have any questions, please visit our Help Centre or contact us via Live Chat and WhatsApp.
