Setting your API token#

Your Neptune API token is like a password to the application. By saving your token as an environment variable, you avoid putting it in your source code, which is more convenient and secure.

To find and save your API token:

  1. In the top-right corner of the app, click your avatar icon.

  2. Select Get Your API token.
