| authentication:authentication-cli-create-token | authentication | authentication-cli-create-token | datasette create-token | You can also create tokens on the command line using the datasette create-token command. This command takes one required argument - the ID of the actor to be associated with the created token. You can specify a -e/--expires-after option in seconds. If omitted, the token will never expire. The command will sign the token using the DATASETTE_SECRET environment variable, if available. You can also pass the secret using the --secret option. 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. To create a token for the root actor that will expire in one hour: datasette create-token root --expires-after 3600 To create a token that never expires using a specific secret: datasette create-token root --secret my-secret-goes-here | ["Authentication and permissions", "API Tokens"] | [] |
