Work with Ark cache

Both the CLI and SDK cache login information in the local machine's keystore or, when a keystore does not exist, in an encrypted folder (located in $HOME/.ark_cache). The cached information is used to run commands until the authentication tokens expire or are otherwise invalided.

You can set the cache folder with the ARK_KEYRING_FOLDER env variable. To force Ark SDK to work only with the filesystem cache, use the ARK_BASIC_KEYRING environment variable

If you want to ignore the cache when logging in, use the -f flag:

ark login -f

Also, you can disable caching in the SDK:

isp_auth = ArkISPAuth(cache_authentication=False)

To clear the cache, run ark cache clear or, when using an encrypted folder, remove the files from the $HOME/.ark_cache folder.
