+# Configuration of API
+
+Both the `Public API` and `API` solutions relies on a `appSettings.config` and `connections.config` to run. Both solutions depend on the same `connections.config` file since they connect to the same data source.
+
+The config files are saved in the root of the ASP.NET project.
+
+`connections.config`
+```xml
+<connectionStrings>
+  <add name="ShiftPlannerDataContext"
+       providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
+       connectionString=""/>
+</connectionStrings>
+```
+
+## Public API
+
+The `Public API` solution needs the following configuration:
+
+`appSettings.config`
+
+```xml
+ <appSettings>
+  <add key="databaseSchema" value="" /> <!-- Database Schema used, either prod or test -->
+</appSettings>
+```
+
+
+
+## API
+
+The `API` solution needs the following configuration:
+
+`appSettings.config`
+
+```xml
+ <appSettings>
+  <add key="ApiKey" value=""/> <!--  -->
+  <add key="TokenKey" value=""/> <!-- Token key for TokenManager -->
+  <add key="TokenAgeHour" value="24"/> <!-- Token expiration -->
+  <add key="podio_app_id" value=""/> <!-- Must refer exactly the Podio app and view for Applicants -->
+  <add key="podio_app_token" value=""/> <!-- Podio API credentials -->
+  <add key="podio_client_id" value=""/>
+  <add key="podio_client_secret" value=""/>
+  <add key="podio_applicants_app_id" value=""/> <!-- Must refer exactly the Podio app and view for Applicants -->
+  <add key="podio_view_id" value=""/> 
+  <add key="ftpUsername" value=""/> <!-- FTP credentials and host (location) for saving the member pictures -->
+  <add key="ftpPassword" value=""/>
+  <add key="ftpHost" value=""/>
+  <add key="databaseSchema" value="test" /> <!-- Database Schema used, either prod or test -->
+</appSettings>
+```
