# astro auth token

<Info>The behavior and format of this command are the same for both Astro and Astro Private Cloud.</Info>

Print the current authentication token to standard output. The output contains only the raw token value with the `Bearer` prefix stripped, making it suitable for use in scripts and CI/CD pipelines. The command returns an error if you are not authenticated.

## Usage

```sh wrap theme={null}
astro auth token
```
