# Connect Lucid with API Key – StackOne Hub

> Link a Lucid account in the StackOne Hub using API Key. End-user guide to authorize the integration and start using Lucid actions.

<Warning>API keys are created in the Lucid Developer Portal, which requires the developer role on a Lucid team plan. A free personal account cannot create API keys — ask your Lucid admin to assign you the developer role first.</Warning>

  <h2>Create a Lucid API key</h2>

  <p>Generate a long-lived API key in the Lucid Developer Portal. The key inherits the permissions (document grants) of the user who creates it.</p>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Open the Developer Portal">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>Sign in to the <a href="https://lucid.app/developer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lucid Developer Portal</a> with a user that has the developer role, then open your application.</p>
      </div>
    </Step>

    <Step title="Create an API key">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>In your application, open the <strong>API Keys</strong> section and create a new API key. Choose the grant level the integration needs (read, edit, or admin).</p>

        <ul>
          <li>Give the key a descriptive name so you can identify it later.</li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </Step>

    <Step title="Copy the API key">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>Copy the generated key value and paste it into StackOne Hub.</p>

        <ul>
          <li>Copy the key into the <strong>API Key</strong> field in StackOne Hub.</li>
          <li>The key is shown only once — store it securely before leaving the page.</li>
        </ul>
