## Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create or Select a Project">
    Set up a new project or select an existing one. See [Organizations & Projects](/gateway/concepts/organizations-and-projects).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the Connector">
    Enable the connector and set up a Connector Profile in your project. See [Setup Connector Profile](/gateway/quickstart#setup-connector-profile).

    <Columns cols={2}>
      <Card title="Connector Profile · API Key" href="/connectors/whois/guides/connector-profile/api-key" icon="https://stackone-logos.com/api/whois/filled/svg" horizontal>
        Uses a single account API key shared across every WhoisXML product, passed as a query parameter (or in the request body...
      </Card>
    </Columns>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Link an Account">
    Link an account [from the dashboard](/connect/managing-connectors/linking-accounts#link-from-the-dashboard) (or via [StackOne Hub](/embed/account-linking/overview)).

    See the guide for the authentication type chosen in the Connector Profile:

    </Columns>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use Actions">
    Connect an AI platform to the linked account's actions. See [AI Platforms](/connect/ai-platforms/overview).

    Other ways to call actions are listed in [Protocols & SDKs](/connect/protocols-and-sdks).
