Setting up the API

Step 1: Signup for an API key

First, you will need to go here. Signing up will get you an API key. Don't worry, at the time of this course, the API is free to use up to 1000 requests per day or 333 intensive requests. It is free to check how many requests you have remaining for the day.

Step 2: Environment Variables

Next we need to declare our API keys, which will look something like this:

// set aylien API credentias
var textapi = new aylien({
  application_id: "your-api-id",
  application_key: "your-key"
});

• Create a new .env file in the root of the project
• Fill the .env file with your API keys like this:
