Fetching data

Prerequisites

The following steps must be completed before you can pull data from an evironment:

1. Register for a Platform.sh account using your work email
2. On the #ds-etna or #ds-etna-dev Slack channels, request for someone to add you to the Etna project
3. Once you have access, generate an API token for your account (The name Local CLI will do nicely), and add it your local .env file as PLATFORMSH_CLI_TOKEN

Developers from external agencies may not be able to register for a platform.sh account. In this scenario, ask a developer from The National Archives to share their API key.

NOTE: When fetching data:

• any Django users you created locally before running the command will no longer exist
• a superuser whose credentials are defined in docker-compose.yml will be created
