# Apiframe - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Apiframe, you need:

1. **API Key** — an Apiframe API key. It starts with `afk_`.

This guide will show you how to get it.

### Prerequisites

* An Apiframe account. You can [sign up](https://console.apiframe.ai/signup) yourself. New teams can unlock 100 starter credits after a phone check or a one-time \$1 payment.

### Step 1: Create an API key

1. Log in to the [Apiframe dashboard](https://console.apiframe.ai). In the sidebar, under **Manage**, click **API Keys**.

2. Click **Create API Key**, enter a name for the key, then click **Create**.

3. Click **Copy** to copy the new key, then click **Done**. The key is shown only once.

### Step 2: Enter your API key in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Apiframe.
2. Enter your **API Key** in the designated field.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
