Authorisation

To interact with Google services, you will need to create a new Custom Search Engine (CSE) and appropriate API Key.

what-color-si will look for these in a .env file alongside the shipped .env.example. This is normally found at:

• ~/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/what-color-is/
• /usr/local/share/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/what-color-is/

# .env
GOOGLE_CSE_ID=01234567890123456789:a1b2c3d4e5f
GOOGLE_API_KEY=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW-xyz0123456789

You can also manage these credentials by exporting them in your .bashrc or terminal session.
