Problem setting API key

Open mattfriend opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Hi there. Firstly, thanks so much for creating this API wrapper - it's really useful. I created a project using it about 2 years ago, and it worked beautifully. However I'm now trying to make some amendments to that project, and I'm struggling to set my API key. My project is a flask powered web app, so before launching the app I set an environmental variable: METOFFICE_API_KEY=NNNNNNN-XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ-AAAABBBBCCCC I then have the following code to create a connection, per your examples: metOfficeApiKey = os.environ.get("METOFFICE_API_KEY") connection = datapoint.connection(api_key=metOfficeApiKey)

I'm getting the following error: ValueError: Profile not found in /Users/Matt/Library/Application Support/DataPoint/default.key. Please install your API key with datapoint.profile.install_API_key("<YOUR-KEY>")

I'm still pretty new in web development so I'm not sure why I'm getting this error - could be because I've messed up my python environment? I'd hugely appreciate any thought you have on how to address this. Thanks so much in advance!
