Every Marketcloud application has a pair of public and secret key that are used to make requests. To find your application's keys, go at https://www.marketcloud.it/applications click on the arrow at the right corner of your application's box and then click on properties . Here you can see your app's keys.

The app.js script look for these keys in your environment, so you have to set the variables in your system:

export MARKETCLOUD_PUBLIC_KEY="your-public-key";
export MARKETCLOUD_SECRET_KEY="your-secret-key";

Now you can run the app with

npm start
