use a spreadsheet to organize and store our SUSHI credentials. At the time, I was less familiar with SUSHI credentials, and the process and format were quire manageable.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I am somewhat close to releasing my COUNTER 5.1 harvester. Just to make sure I'm making something that people can actually use, it would be helpful for me to have a sense of how
you record/maintain your API credentials. Right now I'm assuming people would be able to populate a "tsv" (tab-delimited) file, eg in Google Sheets or Excel then export as tsv.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Someone I showed this to expressed skepticism about that assumption. So I figured I'd just ask you all.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

that interests you, I'd ask you if my tsv plan would be workable for you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
