# CrowdStrike - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with CrowdStrike, you need:

1. **Client ID** - A unique identifier for your API client.
2. **Client Secret** - A confidential key used to authenticate the identity of the application (client).
3. **Base URL** - The API base URL for your CrowdStrike cloud environment.

This guide will walk you through obtaining these credentials within CrowdStrike.

### Prerequisites:

* You must have access to the CrowdStrike Falcon console.

### Instructions:

#### Step 1: Creating an API Client

1. Log in to your [CrowdStrike Falcon console](https://falcon.crowdstrike.com/).
2. From the search toolbar, search for **API Clients and Keys** and select it.

4. Enter a Name and Description, select your scopes, and then click **Create**.
5. Your **Client ID**, **Client Secret**, and **Base URL** will be displayed for you. The **Base URL** is the domain portion (e.g., `api.crowdstrike.com`) without the `https://` prefix.

#### Step 2: Enter credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have your **Client ID**, **Client Secret**, and **Base URL**:

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with CrowdStrike.
2. Enter your **Base URL**, **Client ID**, and **Client Secret** in their respective fields.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
