Filling the config.json file¶

The first time the plugin is launched, a config.json file is generated in the plugin installation directory.

C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\default\python\plugins\isogeo_search_engine\config.json

/home/%userprofile%/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/isogeo_search_engine\config.json

• api_base_url: Isogeo API base URL
