How to View or Generate Your OSHA ITA API Token
API tokens are for automated systems. Most manual filers and consultants should validate CSV files instead.
Who this is for
Users comparing CSV upload with automated API submission.
When API submission makes sense
Use the API path only when a recordkeeping system is built to transmit ITA data electronically.
Where to find token guidance
OSHA publishes a job aid for viewing API tokens inside the official ITA experience.
Use CSV if you are working from spreadsheets
If your source data is a spreadsheet or exported CSV, validation and upload are usually simpler than building an API workflow.
