Share Nightscout data with others
Choose whether the recipient needs ongoing viewing or a report for a particular period. Avoid giving ongoing access when a one-off report is enough.
Ongoing viewing
- Confirm the site has current data and the correct units/timezone.
- Keep the site private and create a named readable token in Admin Tools for that recipient.
- Share the site address and viewing token through the recipient’s agreed private channel. A token-bearing URL grants access, so treat the full link as confidential.
- Have the recipient open the site or configure their follower app.
- Compare a recent value and timestamp. Verify historical dates if those are the purpose of sharing.
A report for a date range
Use create and share reports. Check the actual report before sending it, including dates, units, missing periods and whether the source supplies treatments.
Remove access
Remove the recipient’s subject/token in Admin Tools and confirm that their old credential no longer grants access. This does not revoke a separate shared token or remove copies of reports they already received. Do not share your Pro password or administrative API Secret for routine viewing.
