API Key#
Need an API key?
If you still need an API key get in touch and let our solution engineers set you up with a free trial.
There are two options for configuring your API key. One involves setting a .env file on your computer which contains your API key:
Once this .env file has been set, this will enable your API key to be read from any script run in the subsequent directory tree.
echo "TWINLAB_API_KEY=<your_api_key>" > .env
echo TWINLAB_API_KEY=<your_api_key> > .env
echo "TWINLAB_API_KEY=<your_api_key>" > .env
echo "TWINLAB_API_KEY=<your_api_key>" > .env
Setting this function will enable you not to have to store your API key on your computer’s operating system.
import twinlab as tl
API_KEY = '<your_api_key>'
tl.set_api_key(API_KEY)
Warning
While we offer the flexibility to utilize the set_api_key() functionality, this should be used with care not to publicly expose your API key when sharing files.
