Integrating Keys into Application Code

This section provides guidance on integrating the obtained API keys from OpenAI and Upstash into your application code. By following these steps, you'll ensure that your application has access to the necessary credentials for utilizing OpenAI's AI capabilities and Upstash's Redis database functionality effectively.

Step 1: Open Your Application Code in VSCode​

Launch Visual Studio Code (VSCode) and open the codebase of your application.

Step 2: Locate the .env File​

Navigate to the root directory of your project and find the .env file. This file typically stores environment variables for your application.
