# Shipday - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with Shipday, you need:

1. **API Key** — the API key of your Shipday account, from the Shipday Dispatch dashboard.

This guide will show you how to find it.

### Prerequisites

* A Shipday account. If you don't have one, [sign up](https://dispatch.shipday.com/signUp). You can try the full platform free for 14 days with no credit card required.

### Step 1: Copy your API key

1. Sign in to the [Shipday Dispatch dashboard](https://dispatch.shipday.com/).
2. Open your account menu (your avatar, top right) and choose **Account Details**, or go straight to [Account Info](https://dispatch.shipday.com/dashboard#accountInfo).
3. On the **Account** tab, find the **Api Key** row in the **Profile** section and click **Show**. Shipday may ask for your account password first.

### Step 2: Enter your API key in the Connect UI

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