# Remote API Support
|
|
|
|
You may want to delegate the work **Lotus Miner** or **Lotus Node** performs to other machines.
|
|
Here is how to setup the necessary authorization and environment variables.
|
|
|
|
## Environment variables
|
|
|
|
Environmental variables are variables that are defined for the current shell and are inherited by any child shells or processes. Environmental variables are used to pass information into processes that are spawned from the shell.
|
|
|
|
Using the [JWT you generated](https://lotu.sh/en+api#how-do-i-generate-a-token-18865), you can assign it and the **multiaddr** to the appropriate environment variable.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Lotus Node
|
|
FULLNODE_API_INFO="JWT_TOKEN:/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/1234/http"
|
|
|
|
# Lotus Miner
|
|
MINER_API_INFO="JWT_TOKEN:/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/2345/http"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use `lotus auth api-info --perm admin` to quickly create _API_INFO env vars
|
|
|
|
- The **Lotus Node**'s `mutliaddr` is in `~/.lotus/api`.
|
|
- The default token is in `~/.lotus/token`.
|
|
- The **Lotus Miner**'s `multiaddr` is in `~/.lotusminer/config`.
|
|
- The default token is in `~/.lotusminer/token`.
