# Get a secure token

GET https://{hostname}/edgeworkers/v1/secure-token/{propertyId}

__Deprecated__ Use the [Create a secure token](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/reference/post-secure-token) operation instead. This returns a generated authentication token, for use with enhanced debug headers for EdgeWorkers.

Reference: https://akamai.ferndocs.com/edge-workers/api/edge-workers-api/secure-tokens/get-secure-token

## Request

### Path parameters

- `propertyId` (string, required)

### Query parameters

- `acl` (string, optional, default: /*) — Path prefix of the response pages to debug. This value can be a pattern that matches multiple pages, and is explicitly part of the final token. The default is `/*`. If you specify an `acl`, don't specify a `url`.
- `url` (string, optional) — Exact path of the response pages to debug. This value is not explicitly part of the final token, but is used as a salt in the HMAC computation. If you specify a `url`, don't specify an `acl`.
- `expiry` (integer, optional, default: 15) — Number of minutes before the authentication token expires, from a minute to an hour. The default is 15.
- `network` (enum, optional) — __Enum__ The network on which to use this authentication token, either `STAGING` or `PRODUCTION`. If not specified, the token is created for the network where the last property version activation occurred.
  - Allowed values: `STAGING`, `PRODUCTION`
- `accountSwitchKey` (string, optional) — For customers who manage more than one account, this [runs the operation from another account](https://techdocs.akamai.com/developer/docs/manage-many-accounts-with-one-api-client). The Identity and Access Management API provides a [list of available account switch keys](https://techdocs.akamai.com/iam-api/reference/get-client-account-switch-keys).

## Response

### 200

A generated authentication token, for use with enhanced debug headers for EdgeWorkers. See [Enhanced debug headers](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/docs/enhanced-debug-header-details).
