# Integrations with Third-Party Services

## Torchlight

Torchlight is an amazing API for syntax highlighting, and is used by this site. I cannot recommend it highly enough,
especially for documentation sites and code-heavy blogs! As such, HydePHP has built-in support for Torchlight,
which is automatically enabled once you add an API token to your `.env` file. Nothing else needs to be done!

### Getting started

To get started you need an API token which you can get at [Torchlight.dev](https://torchlight.dev/).
It is entirely free for personal and open source projects, as seen on their [pricing page](https://torchlight.dev/#pricing).

When you have an API token, set it in the `.env` file in the root directory of your project.
Once a token is set, Hyde will automatically enable the CommonMark extension.

```env
TORCHLIGHT_TOKEN=torch_<your-api-token>
```

### Attribution and configuration

Note that for the free plan you need to provide an attribution link. Thankfully Hyde injects a customizable link
automatically to all pages that use Torchlight. You can of course disable and customize this in the `config/torchlight.php` file.

```php
'attribution' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'markdown' => 'Syntax highlighting by <a href="https://torchlight.dev/" rel="noopener nofollow">Torchlight.dev</a>',
],
```
