Project API tokens now begin with `swapi_` and are 42 characters long, replacing the `PT` prefix and 50-character length. Existing tokens are unaffected and there is no migration. - Replace every sample token value in MDX and TypeSpec, including the base64-encoded Basic auth examples on both authorization pages. - Document the format and the opaque-string guidance on the API credentials page, with a short pointer from the authorization pages. - Add a changelog entry for 2026-09-14. - Correct the Browser SDK v3 `createRoomObject` option table, which described its `token` as a project token; the page's own example passes a Video Room Token. Closes #679

Every project API token sample in MDX and TypeSpec now uses the canonical placeholder from the issue,

### Token formatsection on API credentials states both formats, confirms existingPTtokens are not deprecated and need no migration, and tells readers to treat a token as an opaque string. Both authorization pages carry a short pointer to it.fern/products/platform/changelog/2026-09-14.mdxrecords the change for customers, taggedapis.Unrelated fix worth a look
fern/snippets/browser-sdk/v3/create-room-object-options.mdxdescribed thetokenoption ofcreateRoomObjectas a "SignalWire project token" with aPTexample. That is wrong: the same reference page passestoken: "<YourJWT>"in its own example, and a browser SDK never takes a project API token. Rather than carry the error forward with aswapi_value, the row now describes a Video Room Token and links to the Create Room Token endpoint. Happy to split this out if you would rather keep the PR to the format change.Two things to confirm
