# Local Server

EventLink will host a local API on your machine that is secured by a token. You can select which port the API runs on through the API menu. Currently, only port 8080, 9000, and 9200 are supported.

The API requires an `Authorization` header with a Bearer Token to be accessed. You can Reset your security token at any time. Copy the value of the authorization header at any time from the API menu.

Look for the documentation of your specific client on how to access the API. Examples for the [tana-setup](https://dreetje-1.gitbook.io/eventlink/tana-setup "mention") are included.
