choco-apikey: Display a list of sources and their API keys.
$ choco apikey
try on your machine

The "choco apikey" command is used in Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows, to configure or display the API key used for authentication with the Chocolatey community repository.

When you execute the "choco apikey" command, it performs different actions depending on the options used:

  • "choco apikey -c" or "choco apikey --clear": This option clears or removes the currently configured API key. It is useful when you no longer want to use authentication with the Chocolatey community repository.

  • "choco apikey -k API_KEY" or "choco apikey --key API_KEY": This option allows you to set or configure the API key to be used for authentication with the Chocolatey community repository. You need to replace "API_KEY" with your actual API key.

  • "choco apikey": Running the command without any additional options or parameters will display the currently configured API key, if available.
