Spice Shaker

This page is part of our UserSpice Customization Guide.

Spice Shaker is the preferred way to install official and curated community developed add-ons to your UserSpice project.

API Key

Spice Shaker requires a free API key.  Register for a free account at https://bugs.userspice.com and get your API Key from your account page.  Paste this API key in Spice Shaker on the dashboard and refresh the page. In addition to Spice Shaker, it will also allow you to fill out bug reports from your dashboard and even use our built in Auto Updater (New in UserSpice 5.0.4).   One key can be used in all your UserSpice installs and did we mention…it's free?
