Accessing the Third‐Party APIs Locally

On production, we are using Azure Key Vault to access our secrets using process.env.VARIABLE_NAME, but to run it locally, we need to set up the following things.

1. Create a file named .env in the root directory of your project.

2. Add the environment variables for the API.

3. The variables can be found in our Keeper: Client Secrets | SSW | SSW.Website-v3 | Power Automate - Environment variables
