KEY_HANDLING.md

🤨 API_KEY handling by the bot.

Question: How does the bot store the API_KEY given by the user?

Answer : It creates a new folder locally in the server where it is hosted where a .json file is created whose name is same as that of server's discord ID. It is in that file the API_KEY is stored.

Question: Who can use the API_KEY for using the /weather command?

Answer : Only those who are in that particular server.

Question: What if someone steals the API_KEY while I was running the /server-setup command?

Answer : In order to prevent that the command is set to be ephemeral meaning the command-reply will only be visible to the user running the command.

Question: What happens to the API_KEY when the bot leaves the server?

Answer : Bot will delete that particular server's .json file before leaving the server. Alternatively you can also run /delete-server-data command to delete your API_KEY from the server.
