Hello,

I am creating a plugin in shopware which will list all products based on 1 API. for that API I have created a configuration file in the plugin to store API key, URL etc.  
But how can I get these parameters in listing view/ detail view?

the configuration file (at **ProductList/Resources/config.xml** ):&nbsp;ProductList is name of plugin

```
            ProductImportApi
            Api Key
            Api key
        
        
            ProductImportUsername
            Username
            Username
        
        
            ProductImportCategoryId
            Category Id
            Category id
            Category wise Products will be shown.
            Category wise Products will be shown.

```

&nbsp;

**Also&nbsp;ProductList/Subscriber/TemplateRegistration.php**

```
pluginDirectory = $pluginDirectory;
		$this->templateManager = $templateManager;

	}
	/**
	 * {@inheritdoc}
	 */
	public static function getSubscribedEvents() {
		return [
			'Enlight_Controller_Action_PreDispatch' => 'onPreDispatch',
			'Enlight_Controller_Action_PostDispatchSecure_Backend_Listing' => 'onPostDispatch',
		];
	}

	public function onPreDispatch() {
		$this->templateManager->addTemplateDir($this->pluginDirectory . '/Resources/views');
	}

	public function onPostDispatch(\Enlight_Controller_ActionEventArgs $args) {
		/** @var \Enlight_Controller_Action $controller */
		$controller = $args->get('subject');
		$view = $controller->View();

		$config = $this->container->get('shopware.plugin.cached_config_reader')->getByPluginName($this->getName());

		$view->addTemplateDir($this->pluginDirectory . '/Resources/views');

		$view->assign('ProductImportApi', $config['ProductImportApi']);
		$view->assign('ProductImportUsername', $config['ProductImportUsername']);
		$view->assign('ProductImportCategoryId', $config['ProductImportCategoryId']);
	}
}

```

 Something like this should do the trick. 

$config = $container->get('shopware.plugin.cached_config_reader')->getByPluginName('HereYourPluginName', Shopware()->Shop());

if ($config['ProductImportApi'] || $config['ProductImportApi'] !== "") {
  $someVariable = $config['ProductImportApi']
}
```
