Getting an IAM token for a federated account

  • Examples
    • Using an IAM token obtained via the CLI

Note

Lifetime of an IAM token cannot exceed 12 hours and is limited by the cookie lifetime for the federation.

CLI
  1. Authenticate with the CLI as a federated user.

  2. Get an IAM token:

    $ yc iam create-token
    

Specify the received IAM token when accessing Yandex.Cloud resources via the API. Pass the IAM token in the Authorization header in the following format:

Authorization: Bearer <IAM-TOKEN>

Examples

Using an IAM token obtained via the CLI

Save the IAM token to a variable in the CLI and use it in other requests from the command line. Sample request to get cloud list:

Bash
PowerShell
$ export IAM_TOKEN=`yc iam create-token`
$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${IAM_TOKEN}" \
    https://resource-manager.api.cloud.yandex.net/resource-manager/v1/clouds
$IAM_TOKEN=yc iam create-token
curl.exe -H "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" https://resource-manager.api.cloud.yandex.net/resource-manager/v1/clouds
