- Via the Python SDK, which contacts the Cohere API you can authenticate numerous ways:
Note, ensure
.envis added to.gitignoreand not added to source control which can expose secrets and keys
- Create an
.envfile in the virtual project with lineexport CO_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"and import theosmodule - Reference the environment variable directly
- Python code to look like this:
import os
import cohere
api_key = os.environ["CO_KEY"]
co = cohere.Client(api_key)
- Create an
.envfile in the virtual project with lineexport CO_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"and import theosmodule - Call the
os.environas a variable =co_client- Python code to look like this:
import os
import cohere
co_client = cohere.Client(f'{os.environ["CO_KEY"]}')
CHUNK_SIZE = 1024
OUTPUT_BASE_DIR = "./"
- Create an
.envfile in the virtual project with lineexport CO_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"and import theosmodule - Define a variable
api_keyon a new line and reference it usingos.environ - Use a class definition to reference this within the code
- Python code to look like this:
# Cohere API key:
api_key = os.environ["CO_KEY"]
# Set up Cohere client:
co = cohere.Client(api_key)
# Providing API Key Credentials
class CoHere:
def __init__(self, api_key):
api_key = config('API_KEY')
self.co = cohere.Client(api_key)
