| # Setting Up API Tokens for Hugging Face & OpenAI in Hugging Face Space | |
| ## 1. Create Required Tokens | |
| 1. **Hugging Face Token**: | |
| - Log in to [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co) | |
| - Go to Settings → Access Tokens | |
| - Click "New token" | |
| - Name your token and select permissions | |
| - Copy the token | |
| 2. **OpenAI API Key**: | |
| - Log in to [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com) | |
| - Go to API settings | |
| - Create new API key | |
| - Copy the key | |
| ## 2. Add Tokens to Space Settings | |
| 1. Go to your Hugging Face Space settings (⚙️ icon) | |
| 2. Find "Variables and secrets" section | |
| 3. Add both tokens as "New secret" one by one: | |
| ```toml | |
| MONGO_URI = "your_mongo_uri" | |
| HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN = "your_huggingface_token_here" | |
| OPENAI_API_KEY = "your_openai_key_here" | |
| ``` | |
| ## 3. Access Tokens in app.py | |
| ```python | |
| import os | |
| # Load environment variable(s) | |
| HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN = os.getenv("HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN") | |
| OPENAI_API_KEY = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") | |
| ``` | |
| ## Alternative Methods | |
| ### Using Streamlit secrets.toml | |
| ```toml | |
| # .streamlit/secrets.toml | |
| HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN = "your_token_here" | |
| OPENAI_API_KEY = "your_key_here" | |
| ``` | |
| ## Security Best Practices | |
| - Never commit tokens to version control | |
| - Add `.env` or `secrets.toml` to `.gitignore` | |
| - Use read-only tokens when possible | |
| - Regularly reresh your API keys | |
| - Set appropriate token permissions | |
