REDCap

Management of API Tokens

To access a REDCap project via the API, you will need to obtain a REDCap API token. To avoid having to enter the token each time you export data, it is convenient to add the token to your system keyring. You may do this with the following command:

keyring set <redcap_hostname> [<project_name>]

where <redcap_hostname> is the hostname of your REDCap server (e.g., redcap.uchicago.edu) and <project_name> is an abbreviated (no spaces) name of the REDCap project (e.g., MyREDCapProject). Although specifying a project name is not required, doing so will allow you to store API tokens for multiple projects. When you are asked to enter a password, enter the API token you obtained for your project.
