# Eden AI - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Eden AI, you need:

1. **Region** — the Eden AI API endpoint to send requests to.
2. **API Key** — an Eden AI API key, production or sandbox.

This guide will show you how to get them.

### Prerequisites

* An Eden AI account. You can [sign up for free](https://app.edenai.run/user/register).

### Step 1: Choose your region

Eden AI has two API endpoints, and the same API key works on both. Pick the one your requests should go through:

| Region | Value to select |
| - | - |
| Global (default) | `api.edenai.run` |
| EU data residency | `api.eu.edenai.run` |

If you have no EU data residency requirement, use `api.edenai.run`. See [EU Data Residency Endpoint](https://www.edenai.co/docs/v3/data-governance/eu-endpoint) for details.

### Step 2: Create an API key

1. Sign in to [Eden AI](https://app.edenai.run/).
2. Go to **Settings** > **My API Keys**, then click **Create API Key**.

3. Enter a name for the key and choose the **Environment**: **Production** for real model calls, or **Sandbox** for mock responses at no cost. Spending limit, expiry and default tags are optional. Click **Create API Key**.

4. Copy the key (it starts with `sk-eden-`). Eden AI shows it only once.

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

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Eden AI.
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 Eden AI.
