# Authorization with Formstack Personal Access Token

## Getting Personal Access Token

To obtain a PAT in the Formstack Admin application, please follow the instructions here:
<https://help.formstack.com/hc/en-us/articles/44593278449555-Formstack-Personal-Access-Tokens>

***

## Using Personal Access Token

1. Exchange Personal Access Token for Access Token

To exchange PAT for a Sign access token, use this endpoint: [POST oauth/token](https://docs-api-v2.insuresign.io/reference/getoauth2token)

2. Now you can use that Sign `access_token` with every Sign API endpoint in Authorization header.

ex. `Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJpc3Mi0iJodHRwczovL2FkbWluLnNOY`
