You reference api_key and api_secret, but in your docs (https://help.mixpanel.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004490503-Project-Settings#project-id) it seems that these are the same thing. Could you tell me where I can find the api_key?

@Chitrank-Dixit refer to Mixpanel documentation for that, specifically the last paragraph here https://mixpanel.com/help/reference/exporting-raw-data#export-api-reference
