Authentication

Flux supports both authenticated and public services.

Authenticated

All compute service endpoints support HTTP Basic Auth with username and password.

The Arraylake compute service uses your organization name as the username and an Arraylake API key as the password.

To generate an API token navigate to https://app.earthmover.io/{org}/settings/api-clients

Authenticated queries can be made by embedding the credential username (org) and password (api token) into the base URl as follows

https://{username}:{password}@compute.earthmover.io/v1/services/{protocol}/{org}/{repo}/{branch|commit|tag}/{path/to/group}/{protocol}/

Alternatively, the Authorization header can be used to pass the credentials:

import requests
response = requests.get(
"https://compute.earthmover.io/v1/services/{protocol}/{org}/{repo}/{branch|commit|tag}/{path/to/group}/{protocol}/",
auth=("{username}", "{password}")
)

Public Services - Disabling Authentication

When desired, services can also be made public for any user to access.

warning

This will allow any http traffic to access your service endpoints and ANY repositories within your Arraylake organization. More fine grained control over authentication is on our roadmap.
