python-dotenv is used to manage environment variables, including API credentials. Variables, such as API credentials, should be stored in a .env file. Dotenv will automatically load variables from a .env file, where they will be available as environment variables. Environment variables should be named as follows:
INSPERITY_CLIENT_ID = api_client_id
INSPERITY_SECRET = api_secret
INSPERITY_USER = insperity_username
INSPERITY_PWD = insperity_username
It is also useful to put the legal id for any entities to access:
LEGAL_ID_1 = legal_id_for_company_1
LEGAL_ID_2 = legal_id_for_company_2
