If omitted, the token will never expire. \n                 The command will sign the token using the  DATASETTE_SECRET  environment variable, if available. You can also pass the secret using the  --secret  option. \n                 This means you can run the command locally to create tokens for use with a deployed Datasette instance, provided you know that instance's secret. \n                 To create a token for the  root  actor that will expire in one hour: \n                 datasette create-token root --expires-after 3600 \n                 To create a token that never expires using a specific secret: \n                 datasette create-token root --secret my-secret-goes-here", "breadcrumbs": "[\"Authentication and permissions\", \"API Tokens\"]", "references": "[]"}
