Hi all! I’d like to deploy my Python script but don’t want to show my API and secret keys in a script living in GitHub. Is there a token I can create on Alpaca dedicated to this specific pipeline I’m creating and would be deploying through CI/CD provider e.g., CircleCI?

There are multiple ways to hide your keys. Most people use environment variables depending on the environment. Most deployment provider allow you to do this too, including CircleCI.
