hi I'm interested if there is a way either cli or api or to get an access token rather than via the web front end?

hey <@UPMKJ1CCT>, you can use this API call to retrieve the token.
```curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: token pul-token" -d '{"description":"description of token"}' <https://api.pulumi.com/api/user/tokens?reason=console>```
Note: currently undocumented but plan is to make this public.

oh and replace the `pul-token` from above with a pulumi token to auth to the api

awesome, great for spinning up ephemeral containers we use for pipelines
