Environment variables

Supervisely sets default environment variables for each Supervisely Application run. You can also use these environment variables for your development and debugging.

Supervisely has the set default environment variables, Supervisely Application has access to them and we recommend using the same variables during development and debugging. 
Environment variables are case-sensitive.
For development and debugging purposes you can manually copy the ID to a clipboard for every item you are working on: team, workspace, project, dataset, image, labeling job, team member, etc... Just open the context menu of the item and press Copy ID button.

​
.ENV file
For convenient development and debugging we recommend using .env files to avoid hardcoding test variables into your sources and keep private your passwords, secrets, and other sensitive information. Also, it allows avoiding accidentally committing (exposing) these values to a git repository.  
Save .env file to ~/supervisely.env with your credentials. The content of this file will look something like this:
SERVER_ADDRESS="https://app.supervise.ly"
API_TOKEN="4r47N.....blablabla......xaTatb" 
Also with every tutorial, guide, and demo application you will find local.env file that contains other environment variables used for debugging. For example:
# change the Project ID to your value
modal.state.slyProjectId=12208 # ⬅️ change it
And then load it in your python code:
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import supervisely as sly
​
load_dotenv("local.env")
load_dotenv(os.path.expanduser("~/supervisely.env"))
​
api = sly.Api.from_env()
