# Connect Swagger with API Key – StackOne Hub

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

<Warning>Portal actions require a SwaggerHub SaaS Enterprise plan with Swagger Portal enabled and a Designer or Owner role. Registry actions work on any plan that exposes an API key.</Warning>

<section data-guide-section data-guide-scopes="">
  <h2>Copy your Swagger API key</h2>

  <p>Swagger (SwaggerHub) authenticates every Registry and Portal API request with a single<br />account-level API key from your SmartBear ID account.</p>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Sign in to Swagger">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>Sign in to your <a href="https://app.swaggerhub.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Swagger account</a> with your SmartBear ID.</p>

        <ul>
          <li>On the <strong>Welcome back</strong> screen, enter your SmartBear ID and click <strong>Continue</strong> — or use <strong>Continue with Google</strong>, <strong>Continue with Microsoft Account</strong>, or <strong>Continue with GitHub</strong>.</li>
