Setup API key

To use the Datamint API, you need to setup your API key (ask your administrator if you don’t have one). Use one of the following methods to setup your API key:

Method 1: Command-line tool (recommended)

Run datamint-config in the terminal and follow the instructions. See Command-line tools for more details.

Method 2: Environment variable

Specify the API key as an environment variable.

export DATAMINT_API_KEY="my_api_key"
# run your commands (e.g., `datamint-upload`, `python script.py`)

import os
os.environ["DATAMINT_API_KEY"] = "my_api_key"

Method 3: APIHandler constructor

Specify API key in the APIHandler constructor:

from datamint import APIHandler

api = APIHandler(api_key='my_api_key')
