I stumbled upon this project while looking for Hacktoberfest issues. I dug through your codebase a little bit and I found that your API keys are publicly available in the code.

A hacky workaround would be obscuring the API key every time you push, but that would take a lot of effort.

A better solution would be to store in a separate config file, and put the config file in the .gitignore, that way whenever you push, you will not be exposing your API keys.
