Step 4: Add secret

The sample application will not run without an API key from https://newsapi.org/. The use of an API key allows the tutorial to include the qaskx-cli setup secret --help command.

1. Get an API key
2. Save it as a secret
3. Use the API key from the secret store when starting the application

.. run needs API key

.. get API key https://newsapi.org/

And now we can move onto the next Step.
