Can you share the code that isn’t working?

You need to get the secret from your application’s dashboard because this is the only way to securely provide it to you. This is a very common process with API secrets/keys and is how you’ll find almost all web-based software does it.

Thanks Anthony, I have tried that as well. But the real problem for me is that the secret key length is 721 characters and it’s not fitting in my custom login page for Wix connector(which we’re currently building).
