# Glean

> Integrate your application with the Glean Client API using a Glean-issued token

## 🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Glean with Nango using a Glean-issued token. See [Glean (OAuth)](/docs/api-integrations/glean-oauth) if you want Glean's OAuth Authorization Server flow instead.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the integration">
    In Nango ([free signup](https://app.nango.dev)), go to [Integrations](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations) -> *Configure New Integration* -> *Glean*.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Glean">
    Go to [Connections](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections) -> *Add Test Connection* -> *Authorize*, then enter your Server URL and API Token (see the connect guide below). Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Call the Glean API">
    Let's make your first request to the Glean Client API (search). Replace the placeholders below with your [secret key](https://app.nango.dev/dev/environment-settings), [integration ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations), and [connection ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections):

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="cURL">
        ```bash theme={null}
        curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/rest/api/v1/search" \
          -X POST \
          -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
          -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
          -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>" \
          -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
          -d '{
            "query": "quarterly reports",
            "pageSize": 10
          }'
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Node">
        Install Nango's backend SDK with `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:

        ```typescript theme={null}
        import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

        const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<NANGO-SECRET-KEY>' });

        const res = await nango.post({
            endpoint: '/rest/api/v1/search',
            providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
            connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>',
            data: {
                query: 'quarterly reports',
                pageSize: 10
            }
        });

        console.log(res.data);
        ```
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>

    Or fetch credentials with the [Node SDK](/docs/reference/sdks/node#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](/docs/reference/api/connection/get).

    ✅ You're connected! Check the [Logs](https://app.nango.dev/dev/logs) tab in Nango to inspect requests.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Implement Nango in your app">
    Follow our [Auth implementation guide](/docs/guides/primitives/auth) to integrate Nango in your app.

    To obtain your own production credentials, follow the connect guide linked below.
  </Step>

## API gotchas

* **Global tokens require an extra header, added per-request.** This integration assumes a user-scoped token, which only needs the bearer token. If you use a *global* token instead, Glean also requires an `X-Glean-ActAs: user@company.com` header on every request identifying which user to act as. The Connect UI has an optional **Act As** field for storing this email on the connection, but Nango doesn't attach it to requests automatically — read it back from the connection (via the [Node SDK](/docs/reference/sdks/node#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](/docs/reference/api/connection/get)) and pass it as `X-Glean-ActAs` via the `headers` option on `nango.proxy()`/`nango.post()` calls.
