Backblaze b2 gives me an application key that expires every 24 hours and can only be renewed on the web page. How can I set up unattended backups if that's the case?

You use the b2_authorize_account API endpoint or the command line tool to programmatically generate a token for you when needed.

  • The command line tool help says that "The application key is a 40-digit hex number that you can get from your account page on backblaze.com." The `b2_authorize_account` API endpoint also requires the use of the application key, but does not return such a key. I improved the phrasing of the question to make it clear that the problem is the "application key". – Antonis Christofides Feb 18 '16 at 10:23
