Retrieving Uploadcare Keys

To use the Ultimate Uploadcare plugin, you'll need an Uploadcare account and two API keys: the UPLOADCARE_PUBLIC_KEY and, optionally, the UPLOADCARE_SECRET_KEY. Follow these steps to create an account and retrieve the necessary keys.

Step 1: Sign Up for an Uploadcare Account at uploadcare.com

Step 2: Retrieve the UPLOADCARE_PUBLIC_KEY

1. From the Project Dashboard, navigate to the API Keys section (usually visible in the sidebar on the left).

2. Here, you'll find your Public Key.

Step 3: Retrieve the UPLOADCARE_SECRET_KEY (Optional)

In the same API Keys section, you will also see the option to create a Secret Key. This key is necessary for certain backend operations, such as the 'Store File' action.

1. Click 'Add Secret Key'

   
2. Click 'Show Key'

   
3. Save your Secret Key

   

The Secret Key can only be viewed once so it is highly recommended you store this key somewhere secure. New keys can be generated should you lose this one.

Step 4: Adding the Keys to the Ultimate Uploadcare Plugin

1. In your Bubble app, go to the Plugins tab and select the Ultimate Uploadcare plugin.

2. In the plugin settings, paste your UPLOADCARE_PUBLIC_KEY in the designated field.

3. If you plan to use backend features, also paste your UPLOADCARE_SECRET_KEY in the corresponding field.

After completing these steps, your app will be connected to Uploadcare, allowing you to utilize the file upload and processing features provided by the Ultimate Uploadcare plugin.
