Metaplane can access your Mode metadata to extract Mode reports, SQL queries underlying reports, and runs for both reports and queries. Metaplane is able to automatically generate data lineage for content created in Mode.

Generating API tokens

To generate API tokens you can follow the instructions at https://mode.com/help/articles/api-reference/#generating-api-tokens, also included below:

1. Navigate to your Mode homepage.
2. Click on your name in the upper left corner and click My Account.
3. Click on API Tokens on the left side.

To generate a new API token and password, enter a token name and click Create token. You will then see the following:

The credentials are comprised of two parts:

1) Token: The public component of the credential. Often referred to as the username or access key during authentication.

2) Password: The private component of the credential. Often referred to as the password or access secret during authentication.

API tokens are tied to your Mode user account, not to a specific Mode organization. An API token and password generated for your Mode account will provide access to all resources your user account has access to across all Mode organizations to which you belong.
