# Deepgram - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Deepgram, you need:

1. **Region** — the Deepgram API host that processes your data.
2. **API Key** — a Deepgram API key.

This guide will show you how to get them.

### Prerequisites

* A Deepgram account. You can [sign up for free](https://console.deepgram.com/signup).

### Step 1: Choose your region

Deepgram serves its API from these hosts:

* **Global** — `api.deepgram.com`
* **EU** — `api.eu.deepgram.com`
* **Australia** — `api.au.deepgram.com`
* **India** — `api.in.deepgram.com`

Pick the host your requests should go to. Use `api.deepgram.com` unless you need your data processed in a specific region. The same API key works on every host. See [Regional Endpoints](https://developers.deepgram.com/reference/regional-endpoints).

### Step 2: Create an API key

1. Log in to the [Deepgram Console](https://console.deepgram.com). If you have more than one project, pick the project from the drop-down at the top.
2. Click **API keys** under **Manage** in the left sidebar, then click **Create a new API key**.

3. Enter a **Friendly name** and choose an expiration. Optionally open **Advanced** to add tags and choose a role. **Default** only allows using Deepgram services; **Member** also lets the key view usage and logs. See [Working with Roles](https://developers.deepgram.com/guides/deep-dives/working-with-roles). Click **Create key**.

4. Click the copy button next to the secret and store it safely. Deepgram won't show it again. Tick **I know I can't access this key's secret again** and click **Got it**.

### Step 3: Enter your credentials in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Deepgram.
2. Select your **Region** and enter your **API Key** in the designated fields.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.

You are now connected to Deepgram.
