<h1>Generate API Keys</h1>
<div><h2 id="igdb">IGDB</h2>
<p>To access the IGDB API you'll need a Twitch account and a valid phone number for 2FA verification. Up-to-date instructions are available in the <a href="https://api-docs.igdb.com/#account-creation">IGDB API documentation</a>. When registering your application in the Twitch Developer Portal, fill out the form like so:</p>
<ul>
<li>Name: Something <strong>unique or random</strong> like <code>correct-horse-battery-staple</code> or <code>KVV8NDXMSRFJ2MRNPNRSL7GQT</code></li>
<li>OAuth Redirect URLs: <code>localhost</code></li>
<li>Category: <code>Application Integration</code></li>
<li>Client Type: <code>Confidential</code></li>
</ul>
<div class="admonition important">
<p class="admonition-title">Important</p>
<p><strong>The name you pick has to be unique! Picking an existing name will fail silently, with no error messages. We recommend using <code>romm-&lt;random hash&gt;</code>, like <code>romm-3fca6fd7f94dea4a05d029f654c0c44b</code></strong></p>
</div>
<p>Note the client ID and secret that appear on screen, and use them to set <code>IGDB_CLIENT_ID</code> and <code>IGDB_CLIENT_SECRET</code> in your environment variables.</p>
