Credentials

The neccessary credentials for submitting are read from the environment and, if the file exists, a .env file containing key value pairs. Required keys are documented for each browser below.

We recommend placing the values in a .env file, and adding .env to your gitignore so that you don't accidentaly check these values into git.

Chrome

• WEXT_SHIPIT_CHROME_EXTENSION_ID - The id of the extension (can be seen in the url to the Chrome WebStore page)
• WEXT_SHIPIT_CHROME_CLIENT_ID - See clientId below
• WEXT_SHIPIT_CHROME_CLIENT_SECRET - See clientSecret below
• WEXT_SHIPIT_CHROME_REFRESH_TOKEN - See refreshToken below

Follow this guide to generate clientId, clientSecret and refreshToken.

Firefox

• WEXT_SHIPIT_FIREFOX_JWT_ISSUER - See "JWT issuer" below
• WEXT_SHIPIT_FIREFOX_JWT_SECRET - See "JWT secret" below

Go to this site and generate API Credentials. It will output "JWT issuer" and "JWT secret".

Make sure that your extension id is specified in your manifest, like shown here.
