# Code Climate - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with CodeClimate, you will need:

1. **API Key** - A key that grants Nango permission to interact with CodeClimate's API resources and services.
2. **Domain URL** - The API endpoint for your CodeClimate instance.

This guide will walk you through generating the API Key and obtaining the Domain URL.

## Prerequisites:

* You should have a registered account with CodeClimate. Create one on [CodeClimate's website](https://codeclimate.com/).
* Permission to generate an **API Key**.

## Step 1: Obtaining the Domain URL

* If you are using the **cloud version**, your domain URL is:
  ```
  api.codeclimate.com
  ```
* If you are using the **on-premise version**, your domain URL follows this format:
  ```
  {host-name}/api
  ```

## Step 2: Creating an API Key

1. From your Code Climate dashboard, hover over your **profile icon** in the top right corner. Click on **User Settings**.

8. The generated token will be displayed on the screen. **Copy and store it securely**, as it will not be visible again after you leave the page.

**Note:** Ensure you store this key securely, as it will not be visible again after leaving the API Key page.

### Step 3: Connect Your CodeClimate Account

To authenticate using your API credentials, navigate to the CodeClimate authentication form in Nango.

Enter your credentials as follows:

* **API Key**: Paste your API Key from CodeClimate.
* **Domain URL**: Enter the appropriate domain URL (`api.codeclimate.com` for cloud users or `{host-name}/api` for on-premise users).
