# DigitalOcean

> Connect DigitalOcean to Iru Compliance with a scoped personal access token to collect Droplet inventory, networking, and team-account metadata as evidence.

### About DigitalOcean

Iru reads **Droplets**, **VPCs**, **firewalls**, **team** membership, and **account** settings via the DigitalOcean API using a **personal access token** as a **Bearer** credential.

### How It Works

```http theme={null}
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
```

| Detail             | Value                          |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------ |
| **Category**       | Cloud infrastructure           |
| **Authentication** | Personal access token (Bearer) |

      </Step>

      <Step title="Generate and copy the token">
