# Okta (API Token)

> Integrate your application with the Okta API using an API token

## 🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Okta with Nango and see data flow in 2 minutes.

**1. Create the integration**

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

**2. Authorize Okta**

Go to [Connections](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections) -> *Add Test Connection*, enter your Okta Domain and API Token, then save. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.

**3. Call the Okta API**

Let's make your first request to the Okta API (fetch the token owner's user record). 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/api/v1/users/me" \
>   -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
>   -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
>   -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
> ```

> [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.get({
>     endpoint: '/api/v1/users/me',
>     providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
>     connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
> });
>
> 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/auth/auth-guide.md) to integrate Nango in your app.

## 📚 Okta (API Token) Integration Guides

Nango-maintained guides for common use cases.

* [How do I link my account?](https://nango.dev/docs/api-integrations/okta-api-key/connect)\
  Generate an API token in Okta and connect it to Nango

Official docs: [Create an API token](https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/create-an-api-token/main/)

## API gotchas

* Okta strongly recommends OAuth 2.0 over API tokens for production use — see [Okta (Client Credentials)](https://nango.dev/docs/api-integrations/okta-cc.md) for the OAuth alternative. API tokens are still useful for quick scripts or when an API Services app isn't an option.
