Required API Keys

Why do I need these keys?

Rabbit requires API keys from three different sources to be fully functional. These are:

Rabbit Hole's API Key Settings Page

1. Tenor (for GIF operations in comments and other places),

2. Google Places (for all location-related information),

3. PubNub (for WebSocket, i.e., all live/one-on-one interactions. This is used everywhere: notifications, messaging system, broadcasting, video and audio calls).

All of these APIs have their free and paid plans. The free plans are usually sufficient for a new community. As your community grows, you can explore their paid options.

WebSocket (PubNub) will not be your only option. We will be adding new WebSocket systems soon.

How can get I these API keys?

• Tenor visit https://tenor.com/developer/dashboard

• Google Places visit https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/get-api-key

• PubNub visit and register https://www.pubnub.com/

What happens if I don't enter the API keys?

Your Rabbit system will continue to function without errors, but it will be limited. For example, if the PubNub key information is not entered, messages in your system will only update with page refreshes. Broadcast and live call features will be disabled. GIF sending and location input features will be turned off.
