# Requirements

To use the Pinecone app in Make, you must have a [Pinecone account](https://www.pinecone.io/).

# Connect Pinecone and Make

To get started, you must first create a connection between Pinecone and Make, allowing the two services to communicate.

To create the connection, you need to:

1. [Obtain an API key in your Pinecone account.](docId:1CEZ97RCsIUe55KRbeOkW) 
2. [Create the connection in Make.](docId:1CEZ97RCsIUe55KRbeOkW) 

## Obtain your API key in Pinecone

Before you create the connection in Make, you should first obtain a API key in your Pinecone account.

To obtain the API key:

1. Log in to your Pinecone account.
2. Click on the **API Keys** button on the left sidebar, then click the **Create API Key** button.
3. Enter a name for the API key and click **Create Key**.
4. Click the **Copy Key Value** button and save the API key in a safe place.

You'll use this value in the **API Key** connection field in Make.

## Create the connection in Make 

Once you have your Pinecone API key, you're ready to create the connection in Make. 

To create the connection:

1. Log in to your Make account, add a Pinecone module to your scenario, and click **Create a connection**.
2. Optional: In the **Connection name** field, enter a name for the connection.
3. In the **Index Name** field, enter the name of your index. Your index name can be found by navigating to the **Indexes** tab on the left sidebar.
4. If your index name is `example-123.svc.exampleEnvironment.pinecone.io`, enter `example-123.svc.exampleEnvironment`.
5. In the **API Key** field, paste the API key copied from your Pinecone account.
6. Click **Save**.
7. If prompted, authenticate your account and confirm access.

You've successfully created the connection and can now use the Pinecone app in your scenarios. If you want to make changes to your connection in the future, follow the steps [here](docId\:SO88FM6pkT0G-adKDDfzZ).
