How to find my TeamViewer API TOKEN

FranciscoVerdu · 2021-09-09T09:38:23+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

We are about to deploy a TeamViewer msi host package and we would like it to automatically asign the name of the computer it is installed to TeamViewer, that way we will save a lot of time setting up TeamViewer. Taking a look at TeamViewer web page (this one in particular: https://community.teamviewer.com/Spanish/kb/articles/39639-mejoras-en-la-implementacion-masiva) we decided to test this installation method:

msiexec.exe /i "Path\To\TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn APITOKEN=<YOUR_APITOKEN> ASSIGNMENTOPTIONS="--alias %COMPUTERNAME%"

As you can see, it asks for a parameter named APITOKEN. Since we do not know our APITOKEN, we have done a research around Internet but found no way of obtaining it. Can anyone help us, please?

Best regards,

Francisco Verdú López

Can someone from @TeamViewer please provide clarification to this process of how to get the API key? I build a custom Host module and there is no API key to be found on the custom build page. All of the instructions for unattended host clearly state that you need an API key, but it is extremely poorly documented how you create one/retrieve one for this purpose.

Log-in to your TeamViewer account and go to the

TeamViewer Management Console

Go to: Profile -> Apps you should be able to ADD an API token for this specific purpose, by clicking on Create App or Create Script Token

And what option once you've clicked "create script token" as I can't see anything regarding API?

@John_Wilkinson @bk_mk Posting my solution in case someone else finds this thread waaay later as I did hunting for the answer. You guys may have already found a way, but thought I would mention you just in case this was still helpful to you. Create a custom .msi with these settings. Note that feeding a .tvopts file into the mass installer will not work due to .tvopts file being machine specific. I have provided a command to use below: upon saving your custom module as I have pictured, and then coming back to the one you saved, your api key will be visible, and the config id will too (the config id is also the same as the last part of the shareable link, if the text for the config id is not showing).

msiexec.exe /i "Path\To\TeamViewer_Host.msi" /qn CUSTOMCONFIGID=$CONFIGID APITOKEN=$YOURTOKEN ASSIGNMENTOPTIONS="--grant-easy-access"
