4 title: Getting an API token
10 Open a browser and point it to the Workbench URL for your site. It
11 will look something like this:
13 `https://workbench.{{ site.arvados_api_host }}/`
15 Log in, if you haven't done that already.
17 Click the "API tokens" link.
19 Copy an API token and set environment variables in your terminal
22 export ARVADOS_API_TOKEN=unvz7ktg5p5k2q4wb9hpfl9fkge96rvv1j1gjpiq
23 export ARVADOS_API_HOST={{ site.arvados_api_host }}
25 If you are using a local development server with a self-signed
26 certificate, you might need to bypass certificate verification. Don't
27 do this if you are using a production service.
29 export ARVADOS_API_HOST_INSECURE=yes
