# EasyPost - How do I link my account?

## Overview

To authenticate with EasyPost, you will need:

1. **API Key** — An EasyPost API key that grants Nango access to your account.

EasyPost provides two key types:

* **Test key** — for development and testing, no real shipments or charges.
* **Production key** — for live operations, real shipments and billing apply.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Before you can access API keys, EasyPost requires you to set up an EasyPost Wallet and add a ship-from address on your account. These steps tie all transactions to a verified location.

### Prerequisites

* You must have an EasyPost account. [Sign up](https://www.easypost.com/signup) if you don't have one.

### Instructions

#### Step 1: Get your API key

1. Log in to the [EasyPost Dashboard](https://app.easypost.com/account/settings?tab=api-keys).
2. If you don't have a key, click **Add Additional API Key**, select the key type (Test or Production), and your key will be generated — copy it.
