# Bannerbear

export const title_0 = "Bannerbear";

## Prerequisites

Before you can add the connection, you must obtain an API key from your Bannerbear account. Bannerbear supports two key types:

* **Project key**: Scoped to a single project. Found in the project's **Settings** page.
* **Master key**: Provides access across all projects. Found in **Account Settings** under **API Key**.

Copy the key and store it securely.

## Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Bannerbear to your Connect AI account:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the **Sources** page of the Connect AI navigation menu.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **+ Add Connection** in the upper-right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Type *Bannerbear* into the search field, then click the data source name.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    On the **Basic Settings** tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Enter your **API Key**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Set **Key Type** to **Project** or **Master**, depending on the key you are using.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    If you are using a Master key, enter the **Project Id** of the target project.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    At the top of the Connect AI **Add {title_0} Connection** page, click **Save & Test**.

    * If the connection test succeeds, a **Connection successfully saved** message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The **Status** on the **Edit Connection** page also changes to **Authenticated**. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the **Edit Connection** page, in the **Data Model** tab.
    * If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the **Sign in** button. Correct the errors and try again.
    * Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a **Status** of **Not Authenticated**. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
