How do I store my Account ID and key as environment variables?
The docs and Console code examples read two environment variables:
export CLATTER_API_KEY="clsk_..." # Console › API keys
export CLATTER_ACCOUNT_ID="CL-XXXXXXXX" # Console Home or account menu
Then requests look like this:
curl https://api.agent.clatterlabs.xyz/v1/account \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $CLATTER_API_KEY" \
-H "X-Clatter-Account: $CLATTER_ACCOUNT_ID"
Tips#
- On Windows PowerShell use
$env:CLATTER_API_KEY = "clsk_...". - For a server or CI job, put both values in its secret settings instead of in your code.
- Never commit a
.envfile with a real key to a repository. Add it to.gitignore. - When the Console shows a new key, its snippet already fills in your Account ID for you.
Good to know#
- Your Account ID is permanent; it doesn't change if you change your name or email.
- A missing or wrong Account ID answers
401 missing_account_idor401 account_mismatch.
