Configure API keys

Before you can run the tests, there are a few things you need to do.

• Set up API keys
• Make your keys available to the test suite

Head on over to the API Key Management page and create two keys.

1. a key with full permissions
2. a key with 'account' permission only

The account-only key is used to verify some assumptions about what happens when you don't have a permission. For example, you can get an account summary with or without guild information if you have the 'guilds' permission or not.

User secrets

Next add your keys to the test suite with the user-secrets tool.

Open a terminal inside the Git root directory and type:

dotnet user-secrets --project GW2SDK.Tests set ApiKeyBasic XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
dotnet user-secrets --project GW2SDK.Tests set ApiKey YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY

Visual Studio Code users can instead use the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P).

> Tasks: Run Task

Repeat this for both keys.
