# BambooHR (Basic Auth) - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with BambooHR (Basic Auth), you will need:

1. **Subdomain** - The subdomain used to access your BambooHR account.
2. **API Key** - A key that grants Nango permission to interact with BambooHR APIs resources and services.

This guide will walk you through generating or finding both the API Key and subdomain within BambooHR.

### Prerequisites:

* You must have a registered account with BambooHR.
* Sufficient permission to view the **API Keys**.

### Instructions:

#### Step 1: Finding Your subdomain

1. **Log in** to your BambooHR account.
2. Check the URL in your browser’s address bar. Your **Subdomain** is the text that appears after `https://` and before `.bamboohr.com`.

* For example, if the URL is `https://nango.bamboohr.com/home`, your **Subdomain** is `nango`.

#### Step 2: Finding Your API Key

1. **Log in** to your BambooHR account and click on **My Account** in the bottom-left corner.
2. From the menu that appears, select **API Keys** to view existing keys or add new ones.

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with BambooHR (Basic Auth).
2. Enter your **Subdomain** and **API Key** in their respective fields.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
