• Set the following env variables on the "service" dyno
  • TOKEN_API - the token from the previous step
  • DYNO_NAME - name of the target dyno e.g. "web" or "scraper"
  • APP_ID - the name of your target heroku app (the one containing the target dyno)
• Deploy the code from this repo to the service dyno.
