Hi Sascha and Geert,

A quick and dirty way to get the API key during tool execution would be something like:

${ __app__.model.User.get( $__user_id__ ).api_keys[0].key }

Of course, it would be better if there were a more straightforward way to access the key. It would also be a good idea to add some checking for e.g. a logged in user and that the user has an API key set.

Thanks for using Galaxy,

Dan

Hi!

Yeah, it seems that there is now way to request the API key automatically.

One simple apporach would be an extra text input field where the user has

to enter his or her API key.

In my use case it will be better to use a file for mapping $__user_id__ -> api_key.

We run Galaxy only locally, so it would not be a security issue at all.

Cheers,

Sascha
