# Databox - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Databox, you need:

1. **API Key** — a Databox API key created on your Profile page.

This guide will show you how to create it.

### Prerequisites

* A Databox account. Dataset creation and data ingestion through the API are available on the Analyst, Team and Agency plans, and you can start a 14-day free trial without payment details. If you don't have an account, [sign up](https://databox.com/signup).
* An **Admin** user. Only Admin users can create API keys.

### Step 1: Create an API key

1. Sign in to [Databox](https://app.databox.com) and open your [Profile page](https://account.databox.com/profile) (**Account settings** > **Profile**).
2. Scroll to the **Password & security** section and find the **API key** row, then click **Create**.

3. The key appears right away. Click the copy icon to copy it.
4. Optionally, click **Manage allowed IPs**, enter one or more IP addresses (press Enter after each) and click **Save**. Only requests from those IPs will be accepted.

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

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