Description

Authenticates the CLI with Zilliz Cloud and saves the login state for later commands. Use browser login for interactive local use and API-key login for scripts or headless environments.

Synopsis

bash

zilliz login
[--api-key <value>]
[--no-browser]
[--cn]

Options

• --api-key (string) -

  Authenticates with an API key instead of browser OAuth. If provided without a value, prompts interactively.

• --no-browser (boolean) -

  Uses the device-code flow without opening a browser.

• --cn (boolean) -

  Authenticates to the Zilliz Cloud China site. The China site uses API-key login, so combine --cn with --api-key.

zilliz login

# Login with API key
zilliz login --api-key sk-xxxxxxxxxxxx

# Login to the Zilliz Cloud China site
zilliz login --cn --api-key sk-xxxxxxxxxxxx
