Python: 1. Authenticate

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. View the full guide here: Start Python, retrieve its credentials, and change its configuration programmatically with the Stackhero CLI.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero provides a ready-to-use Python cloud solution designed to streamline your deployment process:

• Deploy your application to production in seconds with a simple git push.
• Use your own domain name, with automatic HTTPS certificate configuration for secure connections handled for you.
• Rely on automatic backups, one-click updates, and predictable pricing, so you can focus on your code, not infrastructure management.
• Benefit from strong performance and security on a private, dedicated infrastructure. Your environment is isolated and protected.

Save time and simplify your workflow: you can have your code running with Stackhero's Python cloud hosting in just 5 minutes.

The easiest way to get started is by logging in through 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.

After logging in, your credentials are stored locally and will be used automatically by future CLI commands.

For fully automated environments like scripts or CI pipelines, you might 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, and any script you run, will pick it up automatically.
