Connect with an API token

1. In Steampipe:

   1. Sign in to Turbot Pipes (the hosted Steampipe service) and open the Advanced tab for your developer account.
   2. Click Credentials & Access in the left-hand menu.
   3. Click New Token, enter an optional Title, and choose an Expiration (a set duration or Never).
   4. Reveal the token with the eye icon or copy it with the clipboard icon. Make a secure note of it now: you will not be able to retrieve it again.

   Where to find the other values:

   • Base URL (optional): Leave blank for Turbot Pipes; not documented on the fetched page.
   • Account / Org / Workspace (optional): Your Turbot Pipes workspace handle; the fetched page does not say where it is displayed.

   Steampipe shows the secret only once, so copy it before you leave the page.

   Record-only connector. Plain Steampipe CLI is local and has no token; tokens exist only for Turbot Pipes. You can have up to 5 tokens at a time; on the Enterprise plan a Maximum Token Expiration setting may limit the expiry. Tokens act with the user's own workspace access (no narrower scope documented).

   Field	What to enter
   API token / Personal access token	Required. Stored encrypted and never shown again.
   Base URL (optional)	—
   Account / Org / Workspace (optional)	—

3. Click Connect with token.
