I mean I want to test the prod data locally on my fe
Ah gotcha - yeah just update the environment variable
From where should I get the prod url?
It's in your dashboard, project settings
Generate product deploy key?
hmm actually no it's not there
it's a template
uses your project slug, finding the doc
how?
settings, under URL and Deploy Key
what I'm seeing in the docs isn't matching what's in the dashboard
oh, not project settings
go to the project, and then hit Settings on the bottom of the left nav
ohh got it
make sure you're in the production environment, not dev
yeah
