​

1. Create an account

Sign up for a Nango account (free, no credit card):

​

2. Create an integration

Go to the Integrations tab, click Configure New Integration and select the API to integrate with.

APIs have different ways to authorize requests: OAuth, API key, Basic, custom. Nango abstracts away the difficulties of working with each one.

​

3. Test the authorization

If you don’t have one already, create a test account for the external API you want to integrate with.

On the Nango Connections tab, click Add Test Connection to test the authorization flow. Pick an integration, click Authorize and enter your test account credentials to authorize the API.

Once authorized, go to the Connections tab to see the newly created connection. The “Authorization” tab contains the credentials necessary to consume the external API. These credentials are securely stored and automatically refreshed by Nango.
