# Phrase - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with Phrase, you need:

1. **Access Token** - An OAuth access token that grants Nango permission to interact with the Phrase API on your behalf.
2. **Hostname** - The API hostname your Phrase account is hosted on (`api.phrase.com` for EU, or `api.us.app.phrase.com` for US).

This guide walks you through generating an access token and finding your hostname in Phrase.

### Prerequisites

* An active Phrase (Phrase Strings / Phrase Platform) account.

### Instructions

#### Step 1: Generate an access token

1. Log in to Phrase and go to the [Access tokens](https://eu.phrase.com/idm-ui/settings/access-tokens) page.
2. Click **+ Generate token**, give it a name, select the services and scopes you need, then click **Generate token**.

3. Copy the generated token.

#### Step 2: Determine your hostname

Phrase is hosted in two data centers. Use the hostname for the one your account was created in:

* `api.phrase.com` — EU data center (default).
* `api.us.app.phrase.com` — US data center.

If you're unsure which one applies, check the base URL you use to log in to Phrase in your browser.

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

Once you have your **Access Token** and **Hostname**:

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Phrase.
2. Enter your **Access Token** in the field provided.
3. Select your **Hostname**.
4. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
