# New Relic Ingest - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with New Relic Ingest, you need:

1. **Data Center Region** — the New Relic data center that hosts your account (US, EU or JP).
2. **License Key** — a New Relic key of the **Ingest - License** type.

This guide will show you how to find both.

### Prerequisites

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

### Step 1: Find your data center region

Your data center is the one your account was created in. Check the address you use to log in to New Relic and pick the matching region:

| You log in at | Data Center Region (select in Nango) |
| - | - |
| `one.newrelic.com` | `metric-api.newrelic.com` |
| `one.eu.newrelic.com` | `metric-api.eu.newrelic.com` |
| `one.jp.newrelic.com` | `metric-api.jp.nr-data.net` |

### Step 2: Create a license key

1. Log in to New Relic, open the user menu and go to **Administration** > **API Keys**.
2. Click **Create a key** in the top-right corner.

3. Choose the account, select **Ingest - License** as the **Key type**, enter a name and optional notes, then click **Create a key**.

4. Click **Copy key** in the banner to copy the new license key. Copy it now: the banner says you won't be able to see it again.

### Step 3: Enter your region and license key in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with New Relic Ingest.
2. Select your **Data Center Region** and enter your key in the **License 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 New Relic Ingest.
