# Mint Stream Input Token

> Mint a short-lived JWT for browser clients connecting to the streaming WebSocket.

## Overview

Mints a short-lived JWT scoped to your account that can be passed as the `token` query parameter when opening [Stream Speech (WebSocket)](/api-v1/post/speak-stream-input). Use this from your backend so browser clients never see your long-lived API key.

Tokens are valid for 5 minutes and can only authorize a WebSocket session against the same org that minted them.
