# wix token

<blockquote class="warning">

**Deprecated**

The Astro-based Wix CLI for Apps is deprecated. New projects should use the [Wix CLI for Apps](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-apps/about-the-wix-cli-for-apps).

- To find out which structure a project uses, see [Determine Which CLI Your Project Uses](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/develop-an-app-with-the-cli/project-development/determine-which-cli-your-project-uses).
- To migrate an existing app to the new Wix CLI, see [Migrate an Astro-based CLI App to the New Wix CLI](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/develop-an-app-with-the-cli/migrate-an-app-to-the-new-cli/migrate-an-app-from-the-astro-based-cli/migrate-an-astro-based-cli-app-to-the-new-wix-cli).

Prints the current access token, refreshing it if needed. Use the token to authenticate direct calls to the Wix REST API from scripts and agents, for example in an `Authorization` header.

## Usage

```bash
wix token [flags]
```

The command prints the token and nothing else, so you can use it inline, for example in a `curl` request:

```bash
-H "Authorization: $(wix token --site <site-id>)"
```

## Flags

The following flag is available for the `wix token` command:

| Flag | Description |
| ---- | ----------- |
| `-s, --site <site-id>` | Gets a site-scoped access token instead of an account-level one. Site-scoped calls, such as reading or writing a site's content, need this token. |

> **Note:** Tokens are short-lived, so don't store one in a file. Run `wix token` whenever you need a token, and the CLI refreshes it when it expires.
