# Scavio - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Scavio, you need:

1. **API Key** — A key that grants Nango permission to call Scavio's API on your behalf.

This guide will walk you through finding this within Scavio.

### Prerequisites

* An account with Scavio. Signing up is free and does not require a credit card.

### Step 1: Finding your API key

1. Log in to the [Scavio dashboard](https://dashboard.scavio.dev/sign-in), or [create an account](https://dashboard.scavio.dev/sign-up) if you do not have one yet.
2. Open the **API Keys** section from the sidebar.
3. Copy the key shown there, or click **Create key** to generate a new one.

Your key starts with `sk_` followed by 64 hexadecimal characters. Treat it like a password:
it carries your full account credit balance, and Scavio only displays a newly created key once.

### Step 2: Enter credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have your **API Key**:

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Scavio.
2. Enter your **API Key** in its respective field.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.

You are now connected to Scavio.
