- Before you run the Traveler's Companion Translation app
you are going to need to perform a few steps
that we'll discuss over the next couple of videos.
First of all as we discussed earlier in this lesson
you will need to register for an IBM Cloud account.
If you have not done that already,
you'll want to go back and take care of that now
because without that you can't get the credentials
that you're going to need in order to invoke
the web services that we're going to use in this example.
Once you do get the credentials
which I'll show you how to do over the next several videos,
you're going to want to insert them into
the keys.py file in the ch13 examples folder
that goes along with this lesson.
And just a reminder that once you have those credentials
you should never share those with anybody else
because they are personal to you
and if you share them with others of course
you might wind up bouncing up against the rate limits
for the light tier services
that we'll be taking advantage of.
But again with IBM one of the nice features
is that you do not need to provide a credit card
and therefore you won't get charged if you do bounce up
against those rate limits because they'll simply
cut you off at that point for the current month.
