In OpenWhisk, there is a cluster-wide option to provide the API_KEY as an environment variable. In such a case openwhisk client-js library will recognize that environment variable and you don't even configure those information to invoke another action in an action. https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1611135197034500?thread_ts=1610983393.013400&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2021-01-20 09:33:31 UTC - Dominic Kim: But I am not sure IBM function enabled it. https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1611135211034700?thread_ts=1610983393.013400&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2021-01-20 09:34:40 UTC - Dominic Kim: With the assumption that they didn't enable it, what you did is correct.
