Requirements for creating a connector

Get started creating a destination or source connector by completing these steps.

Before you can create a connector, you must first sign in to your Unstructured account and generate an Unstructured API key.

Sign in to your account

• If you do not have an Unstructured account:

  Sign up for free. After you sign up, you are automatically signed in to your new Unstructured Let’s Go account, at https://platform.unstructured.io.

  To sign up for a Business account instead, contact Unstructured Sales, or learn more.

• If you already have an Unstructured account and are not signed in:

  For a Let’s Go, Pay-As-You-Go, or Business SaaS account, sign in to your account at https://platform.unstructured.io.

  For other types of Business accounts, see your Unstructured account administrator for sign-in instructions, or email Unstructured Support at [e-mail].

Generate your API key

After you sign in, Unstructured Pipelines appears, which you use to generate your Unstructured API key.

1. Click API Keys on the sidebar.
   

   For Business accounts:

   Before you click API Keys, make sure you have selected the organizational workspace you want to create an API key for. Each API key works with one and only one organizational workspace. Learn more.

2. Click Generate API Key.
   

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish generating the key.
   

4. Click the Copy icon next to your new key to add the key to your system’s clipboard. If you lose this key, simply return and click the Copy icon again.
