# Mimecast

> Connect to the Mimecast API using client credentials in 2 minutes 💨

> [tab] 🚀 Quickstart
>
> **1. Create an integration**
>
> Sign up for a free Nango account ([here](https://app.nango.dev)) if you haven't already. Then navigate to [Integrations](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations) -> *Configure New Integration* -> select *Mimecast*.
>
> **2. Authorize Mimecast**
>
> Go to [Connections](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections) -> *Add Test Connection* -> *Authorize*, then enter your Mimecast **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.
>
> **3. Call the Mimecast API**
>
> Let's make your first request to Mimecast (fetch account information). 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 -X GET "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/api/account/get-account" \
> >   -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
> >   -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
> >   -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>" \
> >   -H "Accept: application/json"
> > ```
>
> > [tab] Node
> >
> > Install Nango's backend SDK: `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:
> >
> > ```typescript theme={null}
> > import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';
> >
> > const nango = new Nango({ apiKey: '<NANGO-API-KEY>' });
> >
> > // Fetch account information from Mimecast
> > const res = await nango.get({
> >   endpoint: '/api/account/get-account',
> >   providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
> >   connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
> > });
> >
> > console.log(res.data);
> > ```
>
> You can also fetch credentials dynamically 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).
>
> ✅ You're connected! Check the [Logs](https://app.nango.dev/dev/logs) tab in Nango to inspect requests.
>
> > [!TIP]
> >
> > Next step: [Embed the auth flow](https://nango.dev/docs/guides/primitives/auth.md) in your app to let your users connect their Mimecast accounts.
