Use tokens
Use tokens to authenticate requests to InfluxDB, including requests to write,
query, and manage data and resources.
Authenticate requests using the influx CLI,
API requests made with client libraries, and tools like cURL.
Add a token to a CLI request
influx write \
--token API_TOKEN \
# ...
Use environment variables
The influx CLI automatically uses the INFLUX_TOKEN variable when defined in
the current session.
Use CLI configurations
Create influx CLI connection configurations
to automatically add your token and other required credentials to each CLI command execution.
