# Find Cloudflare API tokens by name in a snap!

Hey there, I'm Shiichan! Today's find is a little low-key, but if you juggle a lot of API tokens, this one quietly makes your day nicer, so let me share it.

## What was announced?

From Cloudflare's Changelog: you can now search API tokens by name. Both the dashboard and the API let you filter tokens by their name.

## The story so far

Until now, if you had a lot of tokens, finding a specific one meant paging through the whole list by hand. The more tokens you had, the more tedious it got.

## What changes

The [account API tokens](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/account-api-tokens) page and the [user API tokens](https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens) page now include a search bar, so you can type a name and filter in real time. Even in a big pile of tokens, you can spot the one you want right away.

## Dive Deep

This isn't just a dashboard thing, you can do the same over the API. The [/user/tokens](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/user/subresources/tokens/methods/list/) and [/accounts/{account_id}/tokens](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/accounts/subresources/tokens/methods/list/) endpoints now accept a `name` query parameter.

```
GET /accounts/{account_id}/tokens?name=my-token
```

Pass a name like this and you get a server-side filtered result back. For how to create tokens, see [Create an API token](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/get-started/create-token/), and for account-owned tokens, check the [Account API tokens](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/get-started/account-owned-tokens/) guide.

## Wrap-up

- A search bar was added to both the account and user API token lists in the dashboard
- `/user/tokens` and `/accounts/{account_id}/tokens` now support a `name` query parameter
- Server-side filtering by name means no more paging, even with tons of tokens

This is a perfect little update for teams running lots of API tokens, and for developers who want to look up tokens from automation scripts!
