The CLI uses Oauth tokens to interact with the API.
1. Run ``funkwhale login``, which will ask you your Funkwhale username and password and store a JWT token in your local keyring. This token will be used automatically afterwards.
To get started, you need to create an application for the CLI. To do this:
1. Log in to your Funkwhale pod.
2. Select the cog icon (:fa:`cog`) or your avatar to expand the user menu.
3. Select :guilabel:`Settings`.
4. Scroll down to the :guilabel:`Your applications` section.
5. Select :guilabel:`Register a new application` to create a new application.
6. Give your application an appropriate name (e.g. "Funkwhale CLI").
7. Give your application the permissions you require.
8. Select :guilabel:`Create application`. A screen appears showing :guilabel:`Application details`.
9. Copy the app's :guilabel:`Access token`.
Once you have your app's Access Token, you can either:
1. Run ``funkwhale login`. The CLI asks you for your token and stores it in your machine's keyring. The CLI uses this token to authenticate.
2. Explicitly pass a token to the command via the ``-t`` flag or the ``FUNKWHALE_TOKEN`` environment variable
If you use ``funkwhale login``, you can delete the local token with ``funkwhale logout``.
