Login with your API key from the CLI

The login command is used to store an elmah.io API key locally. Sub-sequent commands will use the privately stored API key instead of requiring an --apiKey option. If specified, the --proxyHost and --proxyPort options are only used to test the API key on this command and will need to be specified again when running other commands.

Using an environment variable instead

For CI pipelines and other non-interactive scenarios, you can skip login entirely by setting the ELMAHIO_API_KEY environment variable. All commands fall back to it when --apiKey isn't specified and no key has been stored locally:

set ELMAHIO_API_KEY=API_KEY
elmahio logs list

Precedence is --apiKey > ELMAHIO_API_KEY > the key stored via login.
