--- title: Environment Configuration --- import { TabItem, Tabs } from '@astrojs/starlight/components' Daytona supports multiple methods to configure your environment, in order of precedence: 1. [Configuration in code](#configuration-in-code) 2. [Environment variables](#environment-variables) 3. [.env file](#env-file) 4. [Default values](#default-values) ## Configuration in code To configure your environment in code, use the `DaytonaConfig` class. The `DaytonaConfig` class accepts the following parameters: - `api_key`: Your Daytona [API Key](/docs/api-keys) - `api_url`: URL of your [Daytona API](/docs/en/tools/api) - `target`: Target region to create the Sandboxes on (`us` / `eu`) ```python from daytona import DaytonaConfig config = DaytonaConfig( api_key="your-api-key", api_url="your-api-url", target="us" ) ``` ```typescript import { DaytonaConfig } from '@daytonaio/sdk' const config: DaytonaConfig = { apiKey: 'your-api-key', apiUrl: 'your-api-url', target: 'us', } ``` ```ruby require 'daytona' config = Daytona::Config.new( api_key: 'your-api-key', api_url: 'your-api-url', target: 'us' ) ``` ```go package main import ( "github.com/daytonaio/daytona/libs/sdk-go/pkg/daytona" ) func main() { config := daytona.Config{ APIKey: "your-api-key", APIURL: "your-api-url", Target: "us", } client := daytona.NewClient(&config) _ = client } ``` ```bash curl https://app.daytona.io/api/api-keys \ --request POST \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN' \ --data '{ "name": "", "permissions": [ "write:registries" ], "expiresAt": "" }' ``` For more information, see the [Python SDK](/docs/en/python-sdk/daytona), [TypeScript SDK](/docs/en/typescript-sdk/daytona), [Ruby SDK](/docs/en/ruby-sdk/daytona), [Go SDK](/docs/en/go-sdk/daytona), and [API](/docs/en/tools/api/#daytona/tag/api-keys) references: > [**DaytonaConfig (Python SDK)**](/docs/en/python-sdk/sync/daytona#daytonaconfig) > > [**DaytonaConfig (TypeScript SDK)**](/docs/en/typescript-sdk/daytona#daytonaconfig) > > [**Config (Ruby SDK)**](/docs/en/ruby-sdk/config#config) > > [**DaytonaConfig (Go SDK)**](/docs/en/go-sdk/types#DaytonaConfig) > > [**Config (API)**](/docs/en/tools/api/#daytona/tag/api-keys/POST/api-keys) ## Environment variables Daytona supports environment variables for configuration. The SDK automatically looks for these environment variables: | Variable | Description | Required | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------- | | **`DAYTONA_API_KEY`** | Your Daytona API key. | Yes | | **`DAYTONA_API_URL`** | URL of your Daytona API. | No | | **`DAYTONA_TARGET`** | Daytona Target to create the sandboxes on. | No | ### Shell Set environment variables in your shell using the following methods: ```bash export DAYTONA_API_KEY=your-api-key export DAYTONA_API_URL=https://your-api-url export DAYTONA_TARGET=us ``` ```bash $env:DAYTONA_API_KEY="your-api-key" $env:DAYTONA_API_URL="https://your-api-url" $env:DAYTONA_TARGET="us" ``` ### .env file Set the environment variables in a `.env` file using the following format: ```bash DAYTONA_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY DAYTONA_API_URL=https://your_api_url DAYTONA_TARGET=us ``` ## Default values If no configuration is provided, Daytona will use its built-in default values: | **Option** | **Value** | | ---------- | ----------------------------------- | | API URL | https://app.daytona.io/api | | Target | Default region for the organization |
