  8. You need to copy the Client ID and Client Secret Key and store them for future reference. These keys are required to configure the OAuth Client in your app.

Note: After leaving this page, you will no longer be able to view the Client Secret key. A new key has to be created in case you lose this client secret key. Also, sandbox documents will be retained only for 14 days.
