     • Add /latest at the end of the URL
   • Type the character you want to be the prefix of every command in the prefix variable
   • Paste the bot's token into the quotation marks of the token variable
   • Navigate go to https://jsonbin.io/api-keys and copy the X-Master-Key

    • Instead of just '!' like it was before
