    That's correct, as you've described it, your current setup involves you embedding your access token itself in your app, not your app key or secret, since you are not using the OAuth app authorization flow.

    If you were to use the OAuth app authorization flow, you would need to embed your app key, if using the "token" flow, or your app key and secret, if using the "code" flow.
