# Connect Zoho Show with API Key – StackOne Hub

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

<Warning>Zoho Show's API is delivered through Zoho Office Integrator, a separate product from the Zoho Show app. Office Integrator is a metered product — a free plan (Free Partner) is available with no credit card required, and higher API-call volumes require a paid plan.</Warning>

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

  <p>The API key authenticates every Show API request and identifies your integrated application. Sign in to Office Integrator and copy the key from your dashboard.</p>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Sign in to Zoho Office Integrator">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>Sign in to the <a href="https://www.zoho.com/officeintegrator/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Zoho Office Integrator dashboard</a>. If you do not have an account yet, sign up first — no credit card is required to start on the free plan. New accounts are taken to a one-time registration form (next step); existing accounts land straight on the dashboard, so you can skip to copying the key.</p>
      </div>
    </Step>

    <Step title="Complete the API key registration form">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>The first time you sign up, Office Integrator shows a registration form before generating your key. Fill it in and submit — existing accounts never see this and can skip this step.</p>

        <ul>
          <li><strong>Industry</strong> — select your industry from the <strong>Pick an industry</strong> dropdown.</li>
          <li><strong>App Type</strong> — choose <strong>Commercial</strong> ("If you will be reselling the app for a price") or <strong>Non-Commercial</strong> ("If the app will be used personally or distributed for free").</li>
          <li><strong>Organization Name</strong> — enter the name of your organization.</li>
          <li><strong>About Your App</strong> — optionally describe how you intend to use the APIs (maximum 200 characters).</li>
          <li><strong>Industry</strong>, <strong>App Type</strong> and <strong>Organization Name</strong> are mandatory (marked with a red asterisk under <strong>Mandatory fields</strong>).</li>

        <ul>
          <li>The key stays visible on the dashboard, so you can copy it again later — it is not shown only once.</li>
          <li>The same <strong>API PROFILE</strong> panel shows your <strong>Account Type</strong> and, under <strong>PLAN DETAILS</strong>, your <strong>Plan Type</strong> (for example <strong>Free Partner</strong>) and <strong>API Calls Remaining</strong>.</li>

  <h2>Find your data center</h2>

  <p>Your data center is the Zoho region where your account is registered — it is fixed when the account is created and cannot be changed here. You are not choosing a new region; you are identifying the one your account already belongs to.</p>

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Find your region from your Zoho sign-in domain">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>The domain you sign in to Zoho with tells you your region — its country suffix is the same as your API domain's suffix. So look at the address bar while signed in to Office Integrator and read the suffix.</p>

        <ul>
          <li>A plain `.com` sign-in domain → United States (`api.office-integrator.com`).</li>
          <li>A `.eu` sign-in domain → Europe (`api.office-integrator.eu`).</li>
          <li>A `.in` sign-in domain → India (`api.office-integrator.in`); likewise `.com.au`, `.jp`, `.ca`, `.sa`, `.com.cn`.</li>
          <li>To confirm the exact value, open <strong>Generate Code</strong> in the left navigation: the <strong>--url</strong> line of the <strong>CODE FOR OPEN FILE</strong> sample shows an `api.office-integrator.*` domain in the same format you will select.</li>
        </ul>

    <Step title="Select your Data Center">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>Set the <strong>Data Center</strong> field in StackOne Hub to the region whose API domain matches the suffix you identified:</p>

        <ul>
          <li>United States: `api.office-integrator.com`</li>
          <li>Europe: `api.office-integrator.eu`</li>
          <li>India: `api.office-integrator.in`</li>
          <li>Australia: `api.office-integrator.com.au`</li>
          <li>Japan: `api.office-integrator.jp`</li>
          <li>Canada: `api.office-integrator.ca`</li>
          <li>Saudi Arabia: `api.office-integrator.sa`</li>
          <li>China: `api.office-integrator.com.cn`</li>
