Setting the flywire secret

Many data queries against flywire use cloudvolume which provides an interface with flywire’s chunkedgraph data base. To be able to query that backend you need to generate and save an API token (or “secret”) similar to CATMAID. This needs to be done only once.

Generate your secret

Go to https://globalv1.flywire-daf.com/auth/api/v1/refresh_token and log in with the account you use for flywire. You should then see a token that looks something like this:

"ghd2nfk67kdndncf5kdmsqwo8kf23md6"

That’s your token!

Saving the secret

Your token must then be must be saved in a file in ~/.cloudvolume/secrets/chunkedgraph-secret.json. That file needs to look something like this:

{
"token: ""ghd2nfk67kdndncf5kdmsqwo8kf23md6"
}

fafbseg has a convenient function that does that for you:

>>> import fafbseg
>>> fafbseg.flywire.set_chunkedgraph_secret("ghd2nfk67kdndncf5kdmsqwo8kf23md6")

That’s it, your done! You should now be able to query the flywire dataset.
