# Create a System Service Account Token with the APC API

<Note>
  The examples on this page show common ways to use the APC API — they're not a complete API reference. For the full, interactive API documentation for your installation, including every available query, mutation, and type, go to `https://houston.<your-base-domain>/v1`, and click on the **Docs** tab. See [Develop and test APC API queries](/docs/astro-private-cloud/v-2-x/houston-api-develop-test) for more on using the built-in GraphQL explorer.
</Note>

System administrators can create a global system service account token to integrate with external systems, such as CI/CD pipelines. Use the following example mutation to create the service account token:

```graphql wrap theme={null}
mutation systemSACreate {
  createSystemServiceAccount(
    label: "your-sa"
    role: SYSTEM_ADMIN
  ) {
    id
    apiKey
  }
}
```

Save a copy of the returned API key value in a secure place as it won't be displayed again.
