Use tokens
Use tokens to authenticate requests to InfluxDB, including requests to write, query, and manage data and resources.
Authenticate requests using the influx CLI, API requests made with client libraries, and tools like curl.
Add a token to a CLI request
influx write -t <token> -b BUCKET -o org-name <LINE PROTOCOL>
export INFLUX_TOKEN=my-token
influx write -t $INFLUX_TOKEN -b my-bucket -o my-org "measurement field=1"
See here to configure environment variables on Windows. (Click on the Windows tab.)
