To connect to your Bunny Database, you’ll need your Database URL and an Access Token. Both can be obtained and managed from the Dashboard.

​
Accessing credentials

Navigate to Dashboard > Edge Platform > Database > [Select Database] > Access to view and manage your database connection details.
Database Access
From this page, you can:
  • View your Database URL
  • Generate new access tokens
  • Regenerate all access tokens
  • Copy or download existing tokens

​
Database URL

Your Database URL is the endpoint used to connect to your database. It follows this format: 
libsql://[your-database-id].lite.bunnydb.net
This URL is required by all client libraries and SDKs when establishing a connection to your database.

​
Access tokens

Access tokens authenticate your requests to the database. Bunny Database provides two types of tokens:
  • Full Access: Read and write permissions for all database operations
  • Read Only: Limited to SELECT queries and read operations only

​
Generating new tokens

To create a new access token for an additional application while keeping existing tokens valid:
  1. Navigate to Dashboard > Edge Platform > Database > [Select Database] > Access
  2. Click Generate Tokens
  3. New full-access and read-only tokens will be created
  4. Copy or download your tokens immediately
Tokens are only displayed once. If you lose them, you’ll need to generate another.

​
Regenerating tokens

If your tokens are exposed or compromised, regenerate them to invalidate all existing tokens:
  1. Navigate to Dashboard > Edge Platform > Database > [Select Database] > Access
  2. Click Regenerate Tokens
  3. All previous tokens will be immediately invalidated
  4. New full-access and read-only tokens will be created
  5. Copy or download your new tokens immediately
Regenerating tokens will invalidate all existing tokens for all databases. Update all applications using the old tokens to prevent connection failures.

​
Using credentials with client libraries

Pass your Database URL and access token to the client library when creating a connection: 
import { createClient } from "@libsql/client/web";

const client = createClient({
url: "libsql://[your-database-id].lite.bunnydb.net",
authToken: "your-access-token",
});

​
Using credentials with HTTP API

When making direct HTTP requests to the database API endpoint (/v2/pipeline), include your access token as a Bearer token in the Authorization header: 
curl -X POST https://[your-database-id].lite.bunnydb.net/v2/pipeline \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-access-token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "requests": [
      {
        "type": "execute",
        "stmt": {
          "sql": "SELECT * FROM users"
        }
      }
    ]
  }'

​
Using credentials with Magic Containers and Edge Scripting

When you add database credentials to a Magic Container or Edge Script, they are automatically available as environment variables:
  • DB_URL: Your database URL
  • DB_TOKEN: Your access token
Access them in your code like any other environment variable: 
process.env.DB_URL
