```
Place the generated API keys in the user's home directory under .onshapepy

```
1. Use the layout specified by Onshape:
```
creds:

```
2. Replace the *******YOUR API KEY******* and *******YOUR API SECRET**** sections with the keys retrieved from Onshape's developer portal
3. Save file within the user directory C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\, using the filename .onshapepy.
