Configure

Overview

Configure credentials for accessing your project on BioData Catalyst powered by Seven Bridges.

To access a project on the Platform, you have to provide the API endpoint and your authentication token. This can be done either via the unified configuration file(recommended), the environment variables or by specifying them as command options.
