Authentication
Most commands require authentication. StandX CLI supports multiple secure authentication methods.
Environment Variables (Recommended)
The most secure way to authenticate. Credentials are not stored in shell history or command logs.
Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
export STANDX_JWT="your_jwt_token" export STANDX_PRIVATE_KEY="your_ed25519_private_key"
Reload shell configuration
source ~/.bashrc
Security Best Practices:
-
Never hardcode credentials in commands (appears in shell history)
-
Never commit credentials to version control
-
Set file permissions to 600 for any files containing credentials
-
Rotate tokens regularly (they expire after 7 days)
Get Credentials
Visit https://standx.com/user/session to generate:
-
JWT Token (required) - Valid for 7 days, used for reading account data
-
Ed25519 Private Key (optional but recommended) - Required for trading operations
Verify Authentication
standx auth status
Alternative Authentication Methods
Interactive Login
For first-time setup or testing:
standx auth login --interactive
File-based Login
For automation scripts where environment variables are not available:
Store credentials in files with restricted permissions
echo "your_jwt_token" > ~/.standx_token echo "your_private_key" > ~/.standx_key chmod 600 ~/.standx_token ~/.standx_key
Login using files
standx auth login --token-file ~/.standx_token --key-file ~/.standx_key
⚠️ Avoid this in production:
DANGER: Credentials will be visible in shell history
standx auth login --token "your_token" --private-key "your_key"
Logout
standx auth logout
