Generate a CloudQuery API Key
In automated environments, an API Key can be used with CloudQuery Hub and premium plugins instead of cloudquery login
.
Create an API key by following these steps:
- Go to CloudQuery Cloud (opens in a new tab) and log in or register for a new account.
- If you are not already in a team, you will be prompted to create a new team.
- Once you are logged in, click
Team Settings
in the left sidebar. - Go to the
API Keys
tab. - Click
Generate new key
- Choose a key name for you to identify this key by, and an expiration date. Then click
Generate new key
. - Copy the key and store it in a safe place. You will not be able to see it again after this step.
To use the API key with the CloudQuery CLI, set the CLOUDQUERY_API_KEY
environment variable to the value of the key.
export CLOUDQUERY_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
