API Tokens in Saturn Cloud
Saturn Cloud relies on API tokens to grant programmatic access to Saturn Cloud.
Scoped tokens vs Un-scoped tokens
Saturn Cloud tokens can be scoped or un-scoped. Scoped tokens grant access to specific resources. Unscoped tokens can perform any action as the user or group that generated them.
User Tokens vs Resource Tokens
Saturn Cloud has 2 types of tokens. User tokens are generaly intended to be used when you are connecting to Saturn Cloud from an external source. Resource tokens are automatically embedded into Saturn Cloud resources under the environment variable “SATURN_TOKEN”. To create user tokens
User Tokens
- Access the settings page by clicking on the dropdown by your username in the sidebar. Under the section “API Tokens” click on “New Token”
- Make sure you copy the token value. Once the token is generated, you cannot retrieve this value.
Resource Tokens
Resource tokens are automaticaly generated and embedded under the SATURN_TOKEN environment variable in your workspace. If you click on the “Manage” tab of your workspace, you can modify your token and change the scope, for example.
Using tokens
Saturn Cloud expects tokens to be passed via HTTP headers by adding a header key of Authorization with a value of token {TOKEN}. The following Python code demonstrates how to use Tokens to authenticate with Saturn Cloud
import requests
import os
url = "https://hellosaturn-deploy.community.saturnenterprise.io"
TOKEN = # your token
response = requests.get(
url,
headers={"Authorization": f"token {TOKEN}"}
)
