Authentication

Two authentication methods, depending on how you access HumanJudge data.

Personal Access Token (PAT)

For the Python SDK and direct API calls. Your token starts with gj_pat_.

How to get your token

  1. 1

    Go to Pulse Check

    Sign in and navigate to the Pulse Check hub.

  2. 2

    Find "Your API token" section

    At the bottom of the page.

  3. 3

    Click Generate

    Copy and save your token immediately — it won't be shown again. If you lose it, click Regenerate to create a new one (the old token is deactivated).

Using your token

Python SDK 
from grandjury import GJClient
gj = GJClient(token="gj_pat_...")
HTTP Header 
Authorization: Bearer gj_pat_...
Environment variable 
export HUMANJUDGE_API_TOKEN=gj_pat_...

# SDK picks it up automatically
gj = GJClient()  # no token arg needed
