Mercure-Hub: 1. Authenticate

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. You can view the complete guide here: Start Mercure Hub, retrieve its credentials, and modify its configuration programmatically using the Stackhero CLI.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero offers a fully managed Mercure-Hub cloud service, designed to simplify and ensure reliable real-time data delivery. You benefit from:

• Unlimited requests and message sizes for complete flexibility.
• A custom domain with integrated HTTPS security (for example, https://real-time.your-company.com).
• One-click updates to keep your hub up to date effortlessly.
• High performance and enhanced security on a private, dedicated infrastructure.
• Multiple available regions: 🇪🇺 Europe and 🇺🇸 USA for low-latency delivery.

Get started quickly: it takes just 5 minutes to launch your Mercure-Hub cloud hosting environment and start sending real-time updates to your applications.

The simplest way to get started is to log in via your browser. When you run the login command, the CLI opens a web page where you can approve access. No passwords or 2FA codes are entered into the CLI itself.

Once logged in, your credentials are stored locally and will be used automatically by subsequent CLI commands.

For fully automated environments such as scripts or CI pipelines, you may prefer a non-interactive access token. You can create one from your dashboard (Account > Access tokens), then export it as an environment variable. The CLI, as well as any script you run, will automatically detect it.
