Set up credentials

Copy the script from the Local SDK setup modal in Less. The top of the file sets credentials for local development:

# LOCAL ONLY — the os.environ block below is for running on your machine.
# When copying this script into Less, omit the os.environ section entirely.
# The platform sets LESS_API_URL, LESS_API_TOKEN, and LESS_ASSET_ID for you.

import os

os.environ["LESS_API_URL"] = "your-less-api-url"
os.environ["LESS_API_TOKEN"] = "your-script-api-token"
os.environ["LESS_ASSET_ID"] = "your-python-asset-id"

import less

less.reload_config()  # pick up env if less was already imported

# END LOCAL ONLY

Keep credentials out of the script you paste into Less. The platform injects LESS_API_URL, LESS_API_TOKEN, and LESS_ASSET_ID automatically when the job runs.

Env	Purpose
`LESS_API_URL`	e.g. `https://app.example.com/api`
`LESS_API_TOKEN`	script-api-token from the UI (expires after 24 hours)
`LESS_ASSET_ID`	Python asset id
`LESS_JOB_ID`	set only on platform runs
