Where do I put the API key in Linux / Kodi / Flatpak configs?
I have the API key but typing that in to the Kodi interface is a hassle. Can I just place the API key in a config file?
I guess addon.xml? but I don't see any API key elements in the XML.

Hi
only developers should put their API key. You as end user always put only your username and password.

Re: Where do I put the API key in Linux / Kodi / Flatpak configs?
To set the API key in Linux/Kodi/Flatpak, you can add it to the configuration file. Many users suggest adding the key to the addon.xml file of the addon.
If there is no space for the API key in addon.xml, you can try using the addon's Python scripts. For example, in the directory associated with the OpenSubtitles addon, there is a service.py file. In it, you can add the code for the API key.
The API key can be placed in the following path:
~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/addons/service.subtitles.opensubtitles-com/
This folder contains files associated with the addon: addon.xml, README.md, and others.
There may not be room for the API key in addon.xml, but you can write code in service.py that will read the key from the configuration file or from a variable. This way you won't have to enter the key manually when you start Kodi (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=377279)
