1. Use Python’s os.getenv method to replace constants and literal values of credentials and other secure values with calls to Window’s environment variables.

   • For testing on your computer see Create Windows Environment Variables with PowerShell.

2. Email the Python script to DataSelf.

3. Sent Send credentials outside of email (e.g., text).

import os

body={
 "name" : "gshuabcd",
 "password" : os.getenv('CONNECTEDACME_ACUSCRIPT_APINAME_PASSWORD'), #Modify
this to get password
 "company" : "ConnectedACME",
 "branch" : "2J1",
 "locale" : "en-US"
}

def get_metrc_encoding():
    vendor_key = os.getenv('AcmeACME_ACUSCRIPT_APINAME_VENDOR_KEY')  # Modify this to get vendor key
    user_key = os.getenv('AcmeACME_ACUSCRIPT_APINAME_USER_KEY')
 # Modify this to get user key
    encoding_str = f"{vendor_key}:{user_key}"
    encoding = base64.b64encode(encoding_str.encode())
    encoding = encoding.decode('ASCII')
    return encoding

vendor_key = os.getenv('CONNECTED_ACU_API_VENDOR_KEY')  # Modify this to get vendor key

Naming Convention

DataSelf’s naming convention for environment variables used in scripts is:

<CLIENTNAME>_<SCRIPT_NAME>_<VARIABLENAMVARIABLENAME>.

For example: AcmeACME_ACUSCRIPT_APINAME_PASSWORD, AcmeACME_ACUSCRIPT_APINAME_VENDOR_KEY, AcmeACME_ACUSCRIPT_APINAME_USER_KEY
