  5. In the headers section, add a new header with Authorization of Bearer <Personal Access Token NOTE: You can find your Personal Access Token by logging into here

Personal Access Token

In order to post directly into a Gitter Room, you need to use an Access Token. Gitter does not provide the ability to generate Personal Access Tokens on a use case basis, however, you can use your own one. You can retrieve that by doing the following:

  1. Log into https://developer.gitter.im/apps
  2. Your Personal Access Token will be displayed
