Glean Install & Auth
Overview
Configure Glean API authentication for enterprise search and knowledge management. Glean has two APIs: the Indexing API (push content into search) and the Client API (search and retrieve). Each uses separate tokens. Base URL: https://<domain>-be.glean.com/api.
Prerequisites
- Glean enterprise account with admin access
- API token from Glean Admin > API Tokens
- Your Glean deployment domain (e.g.,
company-be.glean.com)
Instructions
Step 1: Obtain API Tokens
Navigate to Glean Admin Console > Settings > API:
| Token Type | Purpose | Required Header |
|---|---|---|
| Indexing API token | Push documents into search index | Authorization: Bearer <token> |
| Client API token | Search, chat, user-scoped queries | Authorization: Bearer <token> + X-Glean-Auth-Type: BEARER |
Step 2: Configure Environment Variables
# .env (NEVER commit)
GLEAN_DOMAIN=company-be.glean.com
GLEAN_INDEXING_TOKEN=glean_idx_...
GLEAN_CLIENT_TOKEN=glean_cli_...
GLEAN_DATASOURCE=custom_app # Your custom datasource name
Step 3: Install SDK and Verify
npm install @anthropic-ai/glean-indexing-api-client # Or use fetch directly
const GLEAN_BASE = `https://${process.env.GLEAN_DOMAIN}/api`;
// Verify indexing API access
async function verifyIndexingAccess() {
const res = await fetch(`${GLEAN_BASE}/index/v1/getdatasourceconfig`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.GLEAN_INDEXING_TOKEN}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({ datasource: process.env.GLEAN_DATASOURCE }),
});
const config = await res.json();
console.log(`Connected. Datasource: ${config.name}`);
}
// Verify client API access
async function verifySearchAccess() {
const res = await fetch(`${GLEAN_BASE}/client/v1/search`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.GLEAN_CLIENT_TOKEN}`,
'X-Glean-Auth-Type': 'BEARER',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({ query: 'test', pageSize: 1 }),
});
const results = await res.json();
console.log(`Search works. Found ${results.results?.length ?? 0} results.`);
}
Error Handling
| Error | Code | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
Unauthorized |
401 | Invalid token | Regenerate in Admin > API Tokens |
Forbidden |
403 | Token lacks scope | Use correct token type (indexing vs client) |
Not Found |
404 | Wrong domain | Verify GLEAN_DOMAIN includes -be suffix |

Next Steps
After auth, proceed to glean-hello-world for your first index and search.
