# TinyURL - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with TinyURL, you need:

1. **API Token** — an API token from your TinyURL account settings.

This guide will show you how to get it.

### Prerequisites

* A TinyURL account. Free plan users can use the API: [sign up](https://tinyurl.com/app/register).

### Step 1: Create an API token

1. Sign in to [TinyURL](https://tinyurl.com/app/login). If you just signed up, verify your email address first.
2. Open your profile menu and go to **Settings** > **API**, or open the [API settings page](https://tinyurl.com/app/settings/api).

3. Under **Your Tokens**, enter a **Token Name**.
4. Tick only the permissions your integration needs.
5. Click **Create Token**.

6. In the **API Token** pop-up, click **Copy To Clipboard** and store the token somewhere safe.

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

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