28This is a helper for working with the feedbin API and its auth. You can think of it as the Feedbin Service.

91. Click `Fork`
102. Change `location` (Line 4) to describe your location. It accepts fairly flexible English descriptions which it turns into locations via [nominatim's geocoder API](https://www.val.town/v/stevekrouse/nominatimSearch).
113. Click `Run`

24 - Ensure the token has read/write access to _Contents_ for the repo
25 - Copy the access token and add that as the `GITHUB_TOKEN` env var in this val
261. Add a new [Val Town API token][] with read/write permissions. Add that token to the val's env vars as `VALTOWN_TOKEN`
271. Add a `VAL_SECRET` env var to the val. Use this secret to sign the webhook POST request to the `/push` endpoint. Use this endpoint to commit vals from Val Town to your GitHub repo.

70- `VALTOWN_TOKEN`: ValTown API token (with read/write Vals permissions) for writing updates from GitHub
71- `GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET`: secret for verifying webhooks from GitHub
72- `VAL_SECRET`: secret for verifying requests to the `/push` endpoint

31### 3. Get a SerpApi Key
32This template requires a [SerpApi](https://serpapi.com/) key to search Reddit posts via Google search results.
33
341. **Get a SerpApi key**:
35 - Sign up at [SerpApi](https://serpapi.com/) to create an account.
36 - Generate an API key from your account dashboard.
37
382. **Add the SerpApi key to your environment variables**:
39 - Go to your [Val Town environment variables](https://www.val.town/settings/environment-variables).
40 - Add a new key:
41 - Key: `SERP_API_KEY`
42 - Value: Your SERP API key.
43
44Without this key, the val will not function correctly.

76### NOTE: Usage Limits
77- **SerpApi:** Free SerpApi accounts have monthly call limits.
