Server API Key

Hi, I have a self-hosted Appwrite instance and I can’t quite figure out how to create a server-side API that lets me automate the creation of projects. The only API key I’ve seen is the one that allows access to specific projects, but I need a more general one. Maybe it’s a configuration variable to set in the .env file. Thanks for the help.

TL;DR

To use a server API key in your code with the Appwrite API, set up a console session using the provided code snippet. Make sure to include the correct email and password in the session creation. Remember to add the session cookie to your headers for subsequent API calls.

Hello, any help?

you can setup a console session

TypeScript

const session = await axios.post(
      endpoint + accountPath,
      {
        email: <email>,
        password: <password>,
      },
      {
        headers: {
          'content-type': 'application/json',
          'X-Appwrite-Project': 'console',
        },
      }
    );

const sessionCookie = session.headers['set-cookie'][0];

// now make any call using:
// headers: {
//          'content-type': 'application/json',
//          'X-Appwrite-Project': 'console',
//          Cookie: sessionCookie,
// },
