# Configuration

## Recovering the key 

You can retrieve your secret key from your Spot settings: 

1. Go to the **API Access** tab 
2. Copy your secret key! 

{% hint style="info" %}
This is a premium feature. If you cannot access it, [contact us](mailto:support@meltingspot.io).
{% endhint %}

## Implementation 

To connect to the API : 

1. Configure your header by adding an "Authorization" element, which must contain your secret key. 
2. Configure the URL using the following call URL: [https://openapi.meltingspot.io ](<https://openapi.meltingspot.io >)
3. Select a method&#x20;
4. You can also add filters (as explained [here](#filters)) and fill in the body if needed!

You can find the complete list of available endpoints [here](https://help-api.meltingspot.io/)!&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that the limit for API requests is :&#x20;

* 100 requests/10 sec&#x20;
* 50000 requests/day
  {% endhint %}

### **Filters**

For filters, we use the LHS Bracket method. This method allows you to filter a list when retrieving content or elements. Filters are added to the end of the URL or in the query parameters.

For example: this URL lists members whose email is "<john.doe@gmail.com>".

```
https://openapi.meltingspot.io/v1/spotMembers?email[in]=john.doe@gmail.com
```

To filter your data, you have access to a variety of operators:

<table><thead><tr><th width="125">Operator</th><th>Meening</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>eq</strong></td><td>Equal to</td></tr><tr><td><strong>neq</strong></td><td>Not equal to</td></tr><tr><td><strong>gt</strong></td><td>Greater than</td></tr><tr><td><strong>gte</strong></td><td>Greater than or equal to</td></tr><tr><td><strong>lt</strong></td><td>Less than</td></tr><tr><td><strong>lte</strong></td><td>Less than or equal to</td></tr><tr><td><strong>in</strong></td><td>In a specified list of values (comma-separated)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>notin</strong></td><td>Not in a specified list of values (comma-separated)</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** If you use a date filter, you must use the timestamp format in your queries.
{% endhint %}
