Where do I find the API_KEY

Erlebacher

I am trying to hook up Visual Code and Dataiku on my laptop. For this I need the "secret" API KEY. Where do I find it? Is it the long (many digits) API Key given to me when I got my free trial of Dataiku Enterprise? If not, then what? Thanks.

You may find this thread helpful.

Note: To create an API key you need to be on a paid version of Dataiku DSS. One of the limits to the Free version of DSS is that you can not create your own DSS API key. You may be able to create the key when you are using your free Enterprise Trial licence.

This is API key is not the same as the license key you received when you initially installed DSS on your computer.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. It was helpful in the sense that I set my API key. Here is my config.json file. However, nothing changed in Visual Studio Code after I exited and reentered the application. Also, how do I link Visual Studio Code to a particular project? Surely somebody at Dataiku in this community must have done it? Thanks.

"url": "http://localhost:11200/home/",
"api_key": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
}
},
"default_instance": "designInstance"
}

There is a Dataiku Extension that you have to use with VS Code. The extension is called Dataiku DSS.

Yes, I have DataIku DSS extension. I do not see anything in the Project and Plugins window. I am not clear on what I must do. Thanks.
