Hi, I don't know how to configure API keys as environment variables.

Do you know someone who knows how?

No, but in cases like this I always summon @John6666 and ask for help! He has kept saving these hobbies of mine over and over, sometimes I feel embarrassed for bothering him, but if he knows how to solve this problem, he surely will.

Hi.😆

You can configure Space's Secret settings as follows. However, improving the app itself is something only you can do... There is no support desk to handle it for you.
I don't know what you want to improve or how, I'm not familiar with those APIs, and I don't have the time either...
If it's a specific error, someone who encountered it before might tell you, but usually you have to figure it out yourself.

Do this in the Hub GUI:

1. Open your Space: Gertie01/app-cjsgck-39 → Settings → Variables and secrets → Add secret. (Hugging Face)

2. Create each secret as a separate entry:

   • Key: OPENAI_API_KEY → Value: your OpenAI key
   • Key: GOOGLE_API_KEY → Value: your Google API key
   • Key: HF_API_TOKEN → Value: a Hugging Face access token (create one under Settings → Access Tokens if you don’t have it). Save after each. (Hugging Face)

3. The Space restarts after you change secrets. This is expected. Wait for it to come back up. (Hugging Face)

4. Your app reads these as environment variables automatically. No extra GUI step. (Static Spaces are different and surface variables in the browser, so don’t store real secrets in Static Spaces.) (Hugging Face)

Redundant summary: Go to Settings → Variables and secrets, add OPENAI_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY, HF_API_TOKEN, save, let the Space restart, your Gradio app sees them as env vars. (Hugging Face)

Common mistakes to avoid

• Putting secrets in code or README. Use the Secrets UI instead; Hub scans pushes and flags leaked keys. (Hugging Face)
• Expecting secrets to copy when someone duplicates your Space. Variables may copy; secrets do not. Set them again in the new Space. (Hugging Face)

Quick references

• Managing secrets and variables from the Space Settings page. (Hugging Face)
• Create an HF access token: Settings → Access Tokens. (Hugging Face)
• Secret changes trigger a restart. (Hugging Face)

Thanks so much for coming over, John6666! I hope Gertie01 can solve the problems! I don't even know what's an API_KEY, lol!
