# Bidsketch - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Bidsketch, you need:

1. **API Token** — an API token from your Bidsketch account settings.

This guide will show you how to create it.

### Prerequisites

* A Bidsketch account. If you don't have one, [sign up](https://signup.bidsketch.com/signup/solo). Plans start with a 14-day free trial.
* Admin access to the account. Only the account admin can manage API tokens.

### Step 1: Create an API token

1. Sign in to Bidsketch as the account admin.
2. Go to **Account Settings** and open the **API & Integration** tab. Your API tokens are also at `https://<your-subdomain>.bidsketch.com/account/api_tokens`.
3. To create a token, click **new API token**.
4. Copy the API token.

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

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Bidsketch.
2. Enter your API token in the **API Token** field.
3. Submit the form. Nango checks the token with Bidsketch and connects you if it is valid.

You are now connected to Bidsketch.
