Learn how to get your Bitmoji token to use the editor

Important Security Note

Your Bitmoji token is like a password - keep it private! Never share it with others. This tool only uses it to communicate with Snapchat's API on your behalf and doesn't store it permanently.

How to Get Your Bitmoji Token

1

Open Bitmoji Website

Go to bitmoji.com and sign in with your Snapchat account

  • Open your web browser (Chrome recommended)
  • Navigate to https://www.bitmoji.com
  • Click "Log In" and sign in with Snapchat
  • After signing in, click "Edit Bitmoji"
2

Open Developer Tools

Access the browser developer tools to find your token

  • Right-click anywhere on the page
  • Select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element"
  • Or press F12 / Cmd+Option+I (Mac)
3

Find Network Requests

Navigate to the Network tab to capture API requests

  • Click on the "Network" tab in DevTools
  • Type "avatar" in the filter box
  • Refresh the page (F5 or Cmd+R)
4

Copy Your Token

Find and copy your Bitmoji token from the request headers

  • Click on any request containing "avatar"
  • Go to the "Headers" tab
  • Find "bitmoji_bsauth_token" in Request Headers
  • Copy the entire token value

What to Look For

In the Network tab, look for requests to the avatar endpoint

Request URL:.../api/avatar-builder-v3/avatar

Request Headers:

bitmoji_bsauth_token: eyJhbGciOiJS...

Ready to Edit?

Once you have your token, head to the Avatar Editor

Troubleshooting

Can't find the bitmoji_bsauth_token header?

Make sure you're signed into Bitmoji and refresh the page after opening DevTools. Try clicking on your avatar or changing an outfit piece to trigger new requests.

Token not working?

Tokens can expire. Try getting a fresh token by logging out and back in to bitmoji.com, then repeat the steps above.

Using Safari or Firefox?

The steps are similar but DevTools may look different. We recommend Chrome for the easiest experience.
