The

secrets/config.json

file is used to store sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, and other credentials that your connector might need to access a data source or destination. This file is not included in the Airbyte repository by default because it contains sensitive information. You need to create this file manually. Here's an example of how you can create and populate the

secrets/config.json

file:

bash echo '{"access_key": "<your_access_key>", "base": "USD"}' > secrets/config.json

In this example, replace

<your_access_key>

with your actual access key. The

base

is just an example property and your actual

config.json

file might need different properties based on the requirements of your connector. Remember to replace the properties and values in the

config.json

file with the actual values that your connector needs. The

secrets

directory should be located in the root directory of your connector.
