# Live Tennis API - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with the Live Tennis API, you will need:

1. **API Key** – A key that grants Nango permission to interact with the Live Tennis API on your behalf.

This guide explains how to obtain it from Live Tennis API.

### Prerequisites

* A Live Tennis API account. A free tier (1,000 requests/day, 30 requests/minute) is available with no credit card required.

### Instructions

#### Step 1: Generating your API key

1. Go to [https://livetennisapi.com/subscribe/free](https://livetennisapi.com/subscribe/free), enter your email address, and click **Get my key** to create a free key.

2. Alternatively, pick a paid tier from the pricing section at [https://livetennisapi.com](https://livetennisapi.com/#pricing) for access to historical results, market prices, and model analysis.

3. Your API key is issued instantly upon subscription and displayed on the confirmation page. It starts with `twjp_`. You can view it again at any time from [https://livetennisapi.com/account](https://livetennisapi.com/account/).
4. Copy the key and store it securely — treat it like a password.

<Note>
  Access is tiered (FREE / BASIC / PRO / ULTRA). The free tier covers live and upcoming matches, scores, players, and fixtures. Requests to endpoints above your tier return `403 upgrade_required`.

2. Enter your **API Key** in the API Key field.
3. Submit the form to complete authentication.
