Authentication

dclient can handle API tokens for Datasette instances that require authentication.

You can pass an API token to query using -t/--token like this:

dclient query https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures "select * from facetable" -t dstok_mytoken

A more convenient way to handle this is to store tokens to be used with different URL prefixes.

Using stored tokens

To always use dstok_mytoken for any URL on the https://latest.datasette.io/ instance you can run this:

dclient auth add https://latest.datasette.io/

Then paste in the token and hit enter when prompted to do so.

To list which URLs you have set tokens for, run the auth list command:

dclient auth list

To delete the token for a specific URL, run auth remove:

dclient auth remove https://latest.datasette.io/
