Hi !

I'm working on a python application who interact with a Galaxy server. For this purpose, I use the library bioblend to communicate with galaxy.

To start a job or get a user history, I have to use the user API key. I can generate it for the new users but, for users who already have an account, an API key could already exist. Currently I known how to find the username, the email and the user ID using the administrator API key.

How to find the API key if she already exists?

Using the Martin Čech answer, here is a little portion of the code to access to the api key when the email and the password are known :

import requests

url = "http://galaxy.server:8080/api/authenticate/baseauth"
response = requests.get(url, auth=(email, password))

if response.status_code == 200:
    api_key = response.json()['api_key']

It seems that we can't use digest method to send authentication request to Galaxy. It would be a securest way to communicate.

It seems not to be a part of bioblend but the Galaxy API for the key retrieval exists here It uses standard BaseAuth so if you use something like requests in your py code you should be able to obtain it easily.
