Initialization

To automatically retrieve your access token from DigitalOcean, run doctl auth login. This process will authenticate you with DigitalOcean and retrieve an access token. If your shell does not have access to a web browser (because of a remote Linux shell with no DISPLAY environment variable or you've specified the CLIAUTH=1 flag), doctl will give you a link for offline authentication.

Configuration

By default, doctl will load a configuration file from $HOME/.doctlcfg if found.

Configuration OPTIONS

• access-token - The DigitalOcean access token. You can generate a token in the Apps & API section of the DigitalOcean control panel or use doctl auth login.
• output - Type of output to display results in. Choices are json or text. If not supplied, doctl will default to text.

Example:

{
  access-token: MY_TOKEN
  output: text
}
