## Using API access token

To configure this credential, you'll need:

- Your **Host**: The URL or IP Address of your host. Refer to the [Rest API documentation](https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/api/rest/) for more information.
- The **Port**: Home Assistant defaults to `8123`. Only change this if you've explicitly changed the port used.
- **SSL**: If you've enabled SSL in Home Assistant in the [config.yml map key](https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/add-ons/configuration/?_highlight=ssl#add-on-configuration), toggle this setting on.
- An **Access Token**: Mosaic Workflows expects a [Long-Lived Access Token](https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/auth_api#long-lived-access-token)), which you can view in Home Assistant through your profile. Refer to the [Rest API documentation introduction](https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/api/rest/) for instructions on generating one.
