 JupyterHub's API token page

+### Register API tokens via configuration
+
+Sometimes, you'll want to pre-generate a token for access to JupyterHub,
+typically for use by external services,
+so that both JupyterHub and the service have access to the same value.
+
+First, you need to generate a good random secret.
+A good way of generating an API token is by running:
+
+```bash
+openssl rand -hex 32
+```
+
+This `openssl` command generates a potential token that can then be added to JupyterHub configuration in `jupyterhub_config.py`.
+
+For external services, this would be registered with JupyterHub via configuration:
+
+```python
+c.JupyterHub.services = [
+    {
+        "name": "my-service",
+        "api_token": the_secret_value,
+    },
+]
+```
+
+At this point, requests authenticated with the token will be associated with The service `my-service`.
+
+```{note}
+You can also load additional tokens for users via the `JupyterHub.api_tokens` configuration.
+
+However, this option has been softly deprecated since the introduction of services.

 ## Assigning permissions to a token
 
 Prior to JupyterHub 2.0, there were two levels of permissions:
