Argument List

The Peliqan class takes two arguments:

jwt (required): This is the JWT token used to authenticate requests from the client to the server. In Peliqan, see Admin > Security settings > API token.
backend_url (optional): This is the instance_url that points to a specific Peliqan environment. If no value is provided, the client will look for the PELIQAN_URL environment variable. If it is not set, then the value defaults to https://app.eu.peliqan.io/.

More info on the Peliqan environment URL and JWT token here.

Environment Variables (optional)

PELIQAN_URL: If this variable is set, it is not needed to set the backend_url parameter while instantiating the client.
