Authenticate

Authenticate

To perform remote operations on Darwin you first need to authenticate. Authentication requires a team-specific API-key.
If you do not already have a Darwin account, you can contact us and we can set one up for you.

To start the authentication process:

$ darwin authenticate
API key: ***********
Make example-team the default team? [y/N] y
Datasets directory [~/.darwin/datasets]: 
Authentication succeeded.

You will be then prompted to enter your API-key, whether you want to set the corresponding team as default and finally the desired location on the local file system for the datasets of that team. This process will create a configuration file at ~/.darwin/config.yaml. This file will be updated with future authentications for different teams.

Permissions

The API key rights selected when requesting the key determine which commands in the SDK are allowed. If the key has insufficient permissions for an action an error will be shown: Insufficient permissions or Invalid API key.
