How To Create An API Key#

Introduction#

An API key allows a user or a program to make API calls without having to authenticate with a username and password. To access an endpoint using an API key, a client should send the access token using the ApiKey authentication scheme.

The API Key can now be used when connecting to your Hopsworks instance using the hopsworks, hsfs or hsml python library or set in the ApiKey header for the REST API.
