• SDE_API_KEY: Your SD Elements API key

Setting Environment Variables

Option 1: Environment Variables

export SDE_HOST="https://your-sdelements-instance.com"
export SDE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Option 2: .env File

Create a .env file in your working directory:

SDE_HOST=https://your-sdelements-instance.com
SDE_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

Getting Your API Key

1. Log into your SD Elements instance
2. Go to Settings > API Tokens
3. Generate a new API token
4. Copy the token value for use as SDE_API_KEY
