You need to record the application's App ID and App Secret, which will be used later.

Enter the console, click the avatar in the upper right corner, click Application Development, and click "here" under Application Development to enter the application list.

Click the "+" sign in the application list to create an application. Select the application type, fill in the application name, and click "Create Application".

Record the Key ID (i.e. application ID) and Key of the QingCloud application.
