Research direction

The issue names no files, keys, tests, or entry points. Start by inspecting the JavaScript API project for committed API keys and its existing TDD setup; confirm which credentials are affected before changing anything. Done means the keys are no longer exposed in the repository and the project remains usable without committing secrets.

I know you're keen to have your project hosted but its best if you don't push API keys to Github.
