Authentication¶

To use the UP42 Python SDK, you first need to authenticate with UP42 via your project credentials:

import up42
up42.authenticate(
    project_id="your-project-ID",
    project_api_key="your-project-API-key"
)

Get your Project credentials¶

Log in to UP42.com and select a Project. In the project's Developers section you can find the Project ID and Project API key.

Authenticate¶

The most simple way to authenticate is to enter the project credentials directly in your code. After successful authentication you will receive a confirmation message.

import up42
up42.authenticate(
    project_id="your-project-ID",
    project_api_key="your-project-API-key"
)

YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS - Authentication with UP42 successful!

Optional: Use configuration file¶

In order to hide your credentials, you can also read your credentials from a configuration JSON file.

Create a config.json file

{
  "project_id": "your-project-ID",
  "project_api_key": "your-project-api-key"
}

Authentication from config.json file

import up42
up42.authenticate(cfg_file="config.json")
