Authentication environment variables
By saving your project path and API token to environment variables, you avoid putting them in your Python code. This approach is more convenient and secure.
NEPTUNE_API_TOKEN
Stores the API token.
If you don't provide the api_token argument to a Neptune function, the value of this environment variable is used.
- Linux
- macOS
- Windows
From the API token dialog in the Neptune app, copy the export command and append the line to your .profile or other shell initialization file.
export NEPTUNE_API_TOKEN="uyVrZXkiOiIzNTd..."
From the API token dialog in the Neptune app, copy the export command and append the line to your .profile or other shell initialization file.
export NEPTUNE_API_TOKEN="uyVrZXkiOiIzNTd..."
a. From the API token dialog in the Neptune app, copy the setx command.
setx NEPTUNE_API_TOKEN "uyVrZXkiOiIzNTd..."
b. Open a terminal app, such as PowerShell or Command Prompt.
c. Paste the line you copied and press enter.
d. To activate the change, restart the terminal app.
You can also navigate to Settings → Edit the system environment variables and add the variable there.
NEPTUNE_PROJECT
Stores the path to a Neptune project in the form workspace-name/project-name.
If you don't provide the project argument to a Neptune function, the value of this environment variable is used.
- Linux
- macOS
- Windows
Append a line with the export command to your .profile or other shell initialization file:
export NEPTUNE_PROJECT=team-alpha/project-x
Append a line with the export command to your .profile or other shell initialization file:
export NEPTUNE_PROJECT=team-alpha/project-x
In a terminal app, such as PowerShell or Command Prompt, enter the setx command and press enter:
setx NEPTUNE_PROJECT team-alpha/project-x
To activate the change, restart the terminal app.
You can also navigate to Settings → Edit the system environment variables and add the variable there.
