Documented steps

  1. Auth: Header format: Authorization: Bearer {personal_access_token}; scopes chosen at token creation.
  2. Create the token in the Typeform web app: Account -> Personal tokens -> Generate a new token; pick minimal scopes (forms:read/write, responses:read/write, webhooks:read/write, etc.).
  3. The token (format tfp_...) is shown ONCE at creation — store it securely.
  4. Send it on every request: curl https://api.typeform.com/me -H 'Authorization: Bearer {your_access_token}'
  5. EU-provisioned accounts use a regional base domain for response data instead of api.typeform.com — docs reference both api.eu.typeform.com (existing EU DC) and api.typeform.eu (newer EU DC). Derive the right domain from your account's returned response URLs rather than hardcoding.
  6. Scopes are enforced per token: forms:write also covers deleting forms, responses:write also covers deleting responses — scope narrowly.
  7. Official docs: https://www.typeform.com/developers/get-started/personal-access-token/ ; https://www.typeform.com/developers/get-started/responses-data-center/ ; https://www.typeform.com/developers/get-started/scopes/
