Jupyter Notebook authentication token while in Pycharm

Question

I am trying to use the Jupyter notebook in Pycharm, but I realized that in the new Jupyter update, there was the addition of tokens.

I am following the tutorial below from JetBrains.

With all the settings initiated with the virtual environment created and setting the URL as 127.0.0.1:8888, however, when I click on the run cell button, it follows that I get the following message from Jupyter Notebook asking:

Please, enter your Jupyter Notebook URL and authentication token

like this:

I looked it up on the Jupyter update blog and it says that my web browser should be initiated which generates a token for access, but I do not see that my browser is loaded here.

Help would be greatly appreciated here.

Answer 1

Running jupyter notebook list will display all of the running servers on your machine. So doing this in the terminal after starting a cell in PyCharm will result in output similar to Currently running servers: http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=f85145dda03dc598bbbfa6e53b93cbcb27629ea00cfd2105 :: /home/.... which contains the appropriate token for authenticating.

Answer 2

1. Edit/enter the URL as: http://localhost:8888 (remove "?token=" at the end) and click OK.
2. A bubble prompt will appear near the top of your PyCharm window, saying "Cannot connect to Jupyter Notebook. Run Jupyter Notebook". It should look like this (depending on your color scheme):

4. Click on the link: "Run Jupyter Notebook"
5. PyCharm will start the Jupyter server for you and it will create a new token. Look at View -> Tool Windows -> Run, to see details of the new token, and an optional URL to open in a web browser.
