2. Export the value from the token field to an environment variable $API_KEY

   export API_KEY='... key data ...'

One-time Full(physical) Backup Example

    curl --location 'https://api.skysql.com/skybackup/v1/backups/schedules' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'X-API-Key: $API_KEY' \
    --data '{
    "backup_type": "full",
    "schedule": "once",
    "service_id": "$SERVICE_ID"
    }'"

• API_KEY : SKYSQL API KEY, see SkySQL API Keys
• SERVICE_ID : SkySQL service identifier, format dbtxxxxxx. You can fetch the service ID from the Fully qualified domain name(FQDN) of your service. E.g: in dbpgf17106534.sysp0000.db2.skysql.com, 'dbpgf17106534' is the service ID.You will find the FQDN in the Connect window
