Authorization
First, you need to allow the add-on to access Trello.
In the add-on preferences, press the “Get Trello app key” button. The browser will open the Trello key retrieval page. You should check the “I acknowledge that I have read and accept the Trello Developer Terms” checkbox and click the “Show API Key” button.
On the next page copy the key and paste it into the add-on properties field.
Next, press the “Get Trello token” button in the add-on preferences. The browser will open the Trello token receipt page. You need to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the “Allow” button.
On the next page copy the token and paste it into the add-on preferences field.
Don’t forget to press the “Save Preferences” button, not to enter keys every time in the future.
The add-on can now get the data from Trello boards.
