# Glean

> Integrate your application with the Glean Client API using a Glean-issued token

## 🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Glean with Nango using a Glean-issued token. See [Glean (OAuth)](https://nango.dev/docs/api-integrations/glean-oauth.md) if you want Glean's OAuth Authorization Server flow instead.

**1. Create the integration**

In Nango ([free signup](https://app.nango.dev)), go to [Integrations](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations) -> *Configure New Integration* -> *Glean*.

**2. Authorize Glean**

Go to [Connections](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections) -> *Add Test Connection* -> *Authorize*, then enter your Server URL and API Token (see the connect guide below). Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.

**3. Call the Glean API**

Let's make your first request to the Glean Client API (search). Replace the placeholders below with your [Environment API key](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/http-api/api-keys.md), [integration ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations), and [connection ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections):

> [tab] cURL
>
> ```bash theme={null}
> curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/rest/api/v1/search" \
>   -X POST \
>   -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
>   -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
>   -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>" \
>   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
>   -d '{
>     "query": "quarterly reports",
>     "pageSize": 10
>   }'
> ```

> [tab] Node
>
> Install Nango's backend SDK with `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:
>
> ```typescript theme={null}
> import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';
>
> const nango = new Nango({ apiKey: '<NANGO-API-KEY>' });
>
> const res = await nango.post({
>     endpoint: '/rest/api/v1/search',
>     providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
>     connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>',
>     data: {
>         query: 'quarterly reports',
>         pageSize: 10
>     }
> });
>
> console.log(res.data);
> ```

Or fetch credentials with the [Node SDK](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/backend-sdk/node.md#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/http-api/connections/get.md).

✅ You're connected! Check the [Logs](https://app.nango.dev/dev/logs) tab in Nango to inspect requests.

**4. Implement Nango in your app**

Follow our [Auth implementation guide](https://nango.dev/docs/guides/primitives/auth.md) to integrate Nango in your app.

To obtain your own credentials, follow the connect guide linked below.

## API gotchas

* **Global tokens require an extra header, added per-request.** This integration assumes a user-scoped token, which only needs the bearer token. If you use a *global* token instead, Glean also requires an `X-Glean-ActAs: user@company.com` header on every request identifying which user to act as. The Connect UI has an optional **Act As** field for storing this email on the connection, but Nango doesn't attach it to requests automatically — read it back from the connection (via the [Node SDK](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/backend-sdk/node.md#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/http-api/connections/get.md)) and pass it as `X-Glean-ActAs` via the `headers` option on `nango.proxy()`/`nango.post()` calls.
