Configuration

Where settings come from (highest → lowest)

• Flags: command line overrides everything
• Environment variables: great for CI
• Config file: ~/.config/tyk/cli.toml

Environments

• Named contexts (dev, staging, prod)
• Each has: dashboard URL, auth token, org ID

Add an environment

tyk config add staging --dashboard-url https://staging.example.com --auth-token $STAGING_TOKEN --org-id $STAGING_ORG

Make one default

tyk config use staging

Environment variables (override)

• TYK_DASH_URL
• TYK_AUTH_TOKEN
• TYK_ORG_ID

Examples

• Temporary override

  TYK_DASH_URL=http://localhost:3000 TYK_AUTH_TOKEN=dev-token TYK_ORG_ID=dev-org tyk api list
  

• Script-friendly switch

  export TYK_DASH_URL=$STAGING_URL
  export TYK_AUTH_TOKEN=$STAGING_TOKEN
  export TYK_ORG_ID=$STAGING_ORG
  tyk api list
