#### **Step 3:**

* The **API client created** form displays. It shows the **CLIENT ID** and **SECRET**. Write these down; it is the only time you will see them and you need to enter them in the next section.

Be sure to write down the **CLIENT ID** and **SECRET** and keep them in a secure and safe location. You won't be able to retrieve them later. 
{% endhint %}
