# Action Network credentials
You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:
- [Action Network](/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.actionnetwork.md)
## Supported authentication methods
- API key
## Related resources
Refer to [Action Network's API documentation](https://actionnetwork.org/docs/){:target=_blank .external-link} for more information about working with the service.
## Using API key
To configure this credential, you'll need an [Action Network](https://actionnetwork.org/){:target=_blank .external-link} account with [API key access enabled](#request-api-access) and:
- An **API Key**
To get an API key:
1. Log in to your Action Network account.
2. From the **Start Organizing** menu, select **Details >** [**API & Sync**](https://actionnetwork.org/apis){:target=_blank .external-link}.
3. Select the list you want to generate an API key for.
4. Generate an API key for that list.
5. Copy the **API Key** and enter it in your n8n credential.
Refer to the [Action Network API Authentication instructions](https://actionnetwork.org/docs/v2/#auth){:target=_blank .external-link} for more information.
## Request API access
Each user account and group on the Action Network has a separate API key to access that user or group's data.
You must explicitly request API access from Action Network, which you can do in one of two ways:
1. If you're already a paying customer, [contact them](https://actionnetwork.org/contact) to request partner access. Partner access includes API key access.
2. If you're a developer, [request a developer account](https://actionnetwork.org/developers){:target=_blank .external-link}. Once your account request is granted, you'll have API key access.
