# Register a daemon

> A daemon registers with its realm token, and registers again on every start. Send the
`daemon_id` you got the first time to keep the same identity. The reply carries the
realm's access list and the public key the daemon checks CliqHub's dispatch tokens
with. A token that does not grant the requested `realm_id` is refused with `403 forbidden`.

Daemon only: requires the daemon's realm token (`Authorization: Bearer cliq_dt_…`). User tokens are refused.
