Fastly

Vantage integrates with your Fastly account through a read-only API token. Fastly API tokens are free for you to create, and adding them to the Vantage console takes only a few minutes.

Create a free Vantage account, then follow the steps below to create a Fastly API token.

  1. Navigate and log in to the Fastly console.
  2. On the API tokens page, re-enter your password if prompted. Then, click + Create Token.
