CRITICAL: Your API token grants access to personalized content. Protect it:
api.daily.devdda_ - if you see this prefix, treat it as sensitiveUser can use environment variable or choose one of the secure storage methods below per operating system.
# Store token
security add-generic-password -a "$USER" -s "daily-dev-api" -w "dda_your_token"
# Retrieve token
security find-generic-password -a "$USER" -s "daily-dev-api" -w
# Auto-load in ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
export DAILY_DEV_TOKEN=$(security find-generic-password -a "$USER" -s "daily-dev-api" -w 2>/dev/null)
# Store token (run in PowerShell)
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential("daily-dev-api", (ConvertTo-SecureString "dda_your_token" -AsPlainText -Force))
$credential | Export-Clixml "$env:USERPROFILE\.daily-dev-credential.xml"
# Retrieve token - add to PowerShell profile ($PROFILE)
$cred = Import-Clixml "$env:USERPROFILE\.daily-dev-credential.xml"
$env:DAILY_DEV_TOKEN = $cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password
Or use the Windows Credential Manager GUI: Control Panel → Credential Manager → Windows Credentials → Add a generic credential
# Requires libsecret-tools
# Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install libsecret-tools
# Fedora: sudo dnf install libsecret
# Store token
echo "dda_your_token" | secret-tool store --label="daily.dev API Token" service daily-dev-api username "$USER"
# Retrieve token
secret-tool lookup service daily-dev-api username "$USER"
# Auto-load in ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
export DAILY_DEV_TOKEN=$(secret-tool lookup service daily-dev-api username "$USER" 2>/dev/null)
Check if DAILY_DEV_TOKEN environment variable is available. If not set, try to retrieve it from the OS secure storage before asking the user for help:
macOS:
export DAILY_DEV_TOKEN=$(security find-generic-password -a "$USER" -s "daily-dev-api" -w 2>/dev/null)
Linux:
export DAILY_DEV_TOKEN=$(secret-tool lookup service daily-dev-api username "$USER" 2>/dev/null)
Windows (PowerShell):
$cred = Import-Clixml "$env:USERPROFILE\.daily-dev-credential.xml" 2>$null; $env:DAILY_DEV_TOKEN = $cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password
If the token is still empty after trying secure storage, direct the user to the Setup section above.
Authorization: Bearer $DAILY_DEV_TOKEN
