In August last year, we announced Repl Identity , a signed identity for every Repl that your code can use to authenticate other Repls when communicating with your APIs and services. For a quick refresher, you can try out the demo that decodes the identity token and outputs it to the shell. We have a Go package for this already ( docs here ), but there's a limited selection of bindings for other languages. To that end, we're rolling out a command-line tool in every Repl that allows you to use features like Repl Identity in any language that can run a subprocess. Here's a quick demo that you can try in our own Repls: $ TOKEN = $( $REPLIT_CLI identity create -audience = "the target repl id" ) $ $REPLIT_CLI identity verify -audience = "the target repl id" -token = " ${TOKEN} " -json { "replid" : "ff2d906a-0a47-482b-9067-1ac0a078c394" , "user" : "mattiselin" , "slug" : "replit-cli" , "aud" : "the target repl id" } Check out this example Python Repl that creates and verifies a Repl Identity token: You can wrap this command in your code to do token creation and verification without needing a direct language binding. Enjoy! More …
