You will require access to this area to create your API token if you are working on an integration. This requires special permission ("is a developer") for your Picturepark, which can only be set by Picturepark staff in the Cloud Manager. Request this setting before you start developing. 

Find here Picturepark API documentation: https://picturepark.com/developers/. Please contact support@picturepark.com regarding clients for new integrations.
