# Kickbox - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Kickbox, you need:

1. **Region** — the Kickbox API host for your account.
2. **API Key** — a production (`live_`) or sandbox (`test_`) API key from your Kickbox dashboard.

This guide will show you how to find your region and create an API key.

### Prerequisites

* A Kickbox account. If you don't have one, [sign up for free](https://app.kickbox.com/signup).

### Step 1: Find your region

Check the address you use to sign in to Kickbox:

* If you sign in at `app.kickbox.com`, choose `api.kickbox.com`.
* If you have an EU-only account and sign in at `app.eu.kickbox.com`, choose `api.eu.kickbox.com`.

### Step 2: Create an API key

1. Sign in to your Kickbox dashboard and click **API** in the left navigation, then click **Manage Keys**. This opens **Settings** > **API Keys**.

2. On the **API Keys** page, click the blue **+** button at the top right to create a new key.

3. Enter a **Key Name** and choose a mode:

   * **Production Mode** creates a `live_` key that verifies real addresses and uses verification credits.
   * **Sandbox Mode** creates a `test_` key that returns mock results without using credits.

   You can't switch a key between modes later.
4. Under **Permissions**, tick the endpoints the key may use (for example **Verify single email address**), then click **Create**. Sandbox keys only offer **Verify single email address**, which is ticked for you.

5. The new key appears in the list. Click the eye icon to reveal it, then copy it.

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

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Kickbox.
2. Choose your **Region** and enter your API key in the **API Key** field.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
