Per the current method of obtaining tokens via a meta module, consultare: API:Tokens.

action=tokens was deprecated in MW 1.24 and removed in 1.37. Use action=query&meta=tokens instead. (See API:Tokens .)

Tokens can be obtained using action=tokens. These tokens can then be used in other API requests.
