heroku_terraform_infra

When Terraform uses the Heroku provider, it makes requests to the Platform API to create apps, add-ons, and other resources. Requests to the Platform API require an authorization token.

Obtaining a heroku authorization token

First, use the Heroku CLI to ensure that you are logged in to the Heroku account that you want to use with Terraform:

$ heroku login
$ heroku authorizations:create --description "your_app_name"

Set the returned Token value and the Heroku account’s email address as local environment variables for Terraform.

$ export HEROKU_API_KEY=<TOKEN> HEROKU_EMAIL=<EMAIL>

To check if your token is well created, you can check with :

$ heroku authorizations

Initialization

$ terraform init
