Creating Proxmox API Token

Jan 29, 2026 1 min read

This guide explains how to create a Proxmox API Token and use its TOKEN_ID and secret to connect Proxmox with the TZ Proxmox VE WHMCS Module.

Open your Proxmox web panel and log in as root.

https://your-proxmox-ip:8006

Navigate to:

Datacenter → Permissions → API Tokens

Click Add and fill in the token details.

User: root@pam

TOKEN_ID: your_token_id

Privilege Separation: Disabled

After saving, Proxmox will display the secret token only once. Copy it and store it securely.

your_secret_token

Combine the values in the following format:

root@pam!your_token_id=your_secret_token

Paste this full string into the API Hash field when adding the Proxmox server in WHMCS.

Assign appropriate permissions (recommended role: PVEAdmin) to the token so WHMCS can fully manage VPS resources.
