How to authorize your account using secretKey for the thirdweb CLI

Solution

You can authorize the CLI with a secretKey in just a couple of steps:

  • Get your secretKey
    Head over to the thirdweb dashboard and generate a key: https://thirdweb.com/team/~/~/.

  • Deploy with your secretKey
    Run the following command: npx thirdweb deploy -k secretKey

  • Use the same pattern for other commands
    You can also use other methods like upload, publish, and build using the same format:

    • npx thirdweb upload -k secretKey
    • npx thirdweb publish -k secretKey
    • npx thirdweb build -k secretKey

That’s it! The CLI will now use your secretKey to authenticate every command.
