# DocuGenerate - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with DocuGenerate, you need:

1. **Region** — the DocuGenerate API host for the region where your templates and documents are processed.
2. **API Key** — your DocuGenerate API key.

This guide will show you how to get them.

### Prerequisites

* A DocuGenerate account. The Free plan includes full API access, and you can [sign up](https://app.docugenerate.com/signup) without a credit card.

### Step 1: Choose your region

DocuGenerate processes templates and documents in the region whose API host you call. Select the value for your region:

| Region | Hosted in | Value to select |
| - | - | - |
| United States | San Francisco | `api.docugenerate.com` |
| European Union | Frankfurt | `api.eu.docugenerate.com` |
| United Kingdom | London | `api.uk.docugenerate.com` |
| Australia | Sydney | `api.au.docugenerate.com` |

See [Can I use regional API endpoints?](https://www.docugenerate.com/help/articles/can-i-use-regional-api-endpoints/) for details.

### Step 2: Generate an API key

Your account has a single API key, and generating a new one immediately stops the current key from working. If you already have a key in use, don't generate a new one: open **Settings → Developers** and copy the existing key with the copy icon (step 4).

1. Log in to [DocuGenerate](https://app.docugenerate.com/login).
2. Open **Settings** and select the **Developers** tab. If you don't have a key yet, click **Generate API Key**.

3. Click **Yes** to confirm. The dialog warns that the current API key stops working immediately.

4. Click the copy icon next to the API key to copy it, and store it in a secure location.

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

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with DocuGenerate.
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 DocuGenerate.
