# Ecologi - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Ecologi, you need:

1. **API Key** — an Ecologi Impact API key.

This guide will show you how to generate it.

### Prerequisites

* An Ecologi account. If you don't have one, create it on the [onboarding page](https://app.ecologi.com/onboarding).

### Step 1: Generate an API key

1. Log in to [Ecologi](https://app.ecologi.com) and select **Integrations** in the left-hand menu.

2. Open the **API keys** tab, enter a name for the key, and click **Save**.

3. Click **Copy** next to your new key to copy the full API key. The list only shows part of it.

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

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Ecologi.
2. Paste the key you copied in Step 1 into the **API Key** field.
3. Submit the form. The connection is saved without checking the key: if the key is wrong, the first API request returns an authentication error.

You are now connected to Ecologi.
