I'm working on a project using GitHub Pages and Firebase, and I've taken my Hugging Face token and split it into two parts to prevent it from leaking. I'm trying to integrate AI into my app so it can assist users and answer questions. However, whenever I send a message to the bot, I get a network error. What's the best way to implement the token so it actually works without exposing it?

Sometimes with Cursor, a new chat can fix issues. Try starting a fresh chat with the bot; the original might be glitching. Check out the documentation for troubleshooting tips as well.
It sounds like you're just splitting the token instead of securing it properly. If you're using Firebase, consider setting up a Firebase function to handle the Hugging Face API requests. This way, you can keep the token secure without exposing it in your front end.
Just a heads up, make sure your token is never uploaded to public repositories or included in your client-side code. Splitting it isn't a foolproof method for keeping it safe. Leaked tokens can lead to unexpected bills since people often look for and exploit such leaks.
You should consider storing the token in a separate secrets file when you're in production or testing. This keeps it out of your codebase, allowing you to easily change it if there's a leak without having to redeploy your whole project.
