# Personal access tokens API **(FREE)**

You can read more about [personal access tokens](../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md#personal-access-tokens).

## List personal access tokens

> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/227264) in GitLab 13.3.
> - [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/270200) from GitLab Ultimate to GitLab Free in 13.6.

Get a list of personal access tokens.

```plaintext
GET /personal_access_tokens
```
