 > - The `CLOUDFLARE_TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY` is used for verifying the Turnstile token. We use Cloudflare Turnstile for ensuring that the user is a human and not a bot on the website. Refer to the [Cloudflare Turnstile documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/get-started/#get-a-sitekey-and-secret-key) to get your Turnstile secret key.
 > - The `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY`, `CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL`, and `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID` values are required for interacting with the Cloudflare API. You can get the API key from the Cloudflare dashboard.
 > - The `CLOUDFLARE_BLOCK_IP_LIST_ID` is used for blocking IP addresses within the Cloudflare firewall. Refer to the [Cloudflare WAF documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/tools/lists/create-dashboard/) to create a list. After creating the list, you can get the list ID from the URL. (usually should be in the end of the URL)
-> - The `DISCORD_PLACE_API_KEY` is used for authenticating requests to the discord.place API endpoints. This is not required for self-hosting. We use this for update our bot's command count every day on the website.
 > - The `DISCORD_PLACE_INSTATUS_API_KEY` is used for authenticating requests to the discord.place Instatus API endpoints. This is not required for self-hosting. We use this for displaying the current status of the discord.place on the homepage. You can get this from the Instatus dashboard. Refer to the [Instatus API documentation](https://instatus.com/help/api) for more information.
 > - The `LOGTAIL_SOURCE_TOKEN` is used for sending logs to Logtail. This is not required for self-hosting. We actually not use this in our production environment. But we wanted to keep this in the repository for future use.
