# Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker, you need:

1. **Hostname** — The regional API endpoint where your company's data is hosted.
2. **Client ID** — The client ID created when your application was registered.
3. **Client Secret** — The client secret created when your application was registered.

This guide walks you through obtaining these credentials from the Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker developer portal.

### Prerequisites

* An active Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker account with API access enabled for your firm.
* Your IT administrator must contact Legal Tracker support to request access to the Thomson Reuters Developer Portal.

### Step 1: Obtain your client credentials

1. Navigate to the **App Management** tab in your environment's API section.
2. Select **New Application**.
3. Enter an application name and save the record.
4. The system will generate your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.

### Step 2: Find your hostname

Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker is hosted across four regional endpoints. Your company's data lives in exactly one region — using the wrong hostname returns a `401 Unauthorized` error.

| Region         | Hostname                   |
| -------------- | -------------------------- |
| United States  | `api.thomsonreuters.com`   |
| United Kingdom | `api.thomsonreuters.co.uk` |
| Canada         | `api.thomsonreuters.ca`    |
| Australia      | `api.thomsonreuters.au`    |

Contact your IT administrator or Legal Tracker support if you are unsure which region your firm uses.

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

Once you have your credentials:

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker.
2. Select your **Hostname** — choose the endpoint that matches where your company's data is hosted (US, UK, Canada, or Australia).
3. Enter your **Client ID** and **Client Secret** in the designated fields.
4. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.

You are now connected to Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker.
