This page covers creating a Fine-grained Personal Access Token (PAT) for GitHound. PATs have a rate limit of **5,000 API requests per hour**. For higher rate limits, see [Configure a GitHub App Installation](/opengraph/extensions/githound/configure-app). ## Create a Fine-grained Personal Access Token 1. Navigate to your GitHub **Profile** > **Settings**. GitHub profile settings menu

2. Go to **Developer settings** (bottom left). Developer settings in GitHub profile

3. Navigate to **Personal access tokens** > **Fine-grained tokens**. Fine-grained tokens in Developer settings

4. Click **Generate new token**. Generate new fine-grained token page

5. Set the **Resource owner** to your target organization. 6. Under **Repository access**, select **All repositories**. Select All repositories for token access

Select All repositories for token access

7. Configure the required [repository and organization permissions](/opengraph/extensions/githound/collect-data#required-permissions) to **Read-only**. Token permissions configuration

8. Click **Generate token** and copy the token value. Copy the generated token

You must save the token value (preferably in a password manager) at this point. You will not be able to recover it later. For organizations with SAML SSO enabled, you must [authorize the PAT for SSO access](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/authentication/authenticating-with-saml-single-sign-on/authorizing-a-personal-access-token-for-use-with-saml-single-sign-on) after creating it. ## Next Steps After creating a token, proceed to [Running the Collector](/opengraph/extensions/githound/collect-data) to start collection.
