Credentials

Overview

You can set up Nango in two ways:

1. Cloud Setup: Use Nango Cloud
2. Local Setup: Run Nango locally using Docker

Option 1: Nango cloud setup

Step 1: Create a Nango account

Sign up here

Step 2: Save your Nango secret key

After creating your Nango account, navigate to Environment Settings in your dashboard and copy the secret key.

Step 3: Configure your root .env file

NANGO_SECRET_KEY=your_nango_secret_key

Step 4: Restart the dashboard server

inkeep dev

Step 5: Start creating credentials

In the visual builder, navigate to the Credentials page in the left sidebar and click "New Credential".

Select "Bearer Authentication" and click "Create Credential". You'll then be prompted to enter your API key.

Option 2: Nango local setup

Step 1: Clone the optional services repository

git clone https://github.com/inkeep/agents-optional-local-dev
cd agents-optional-local-dev

Step 2: Start Nango Services

Inside the agents-optional-local-dev repository, run the following command:

docker-compose --profile nango up -d

Step 3: Configure Environment Variables

In your root project directory (not inside the agents-optional-local-dev repository), update your .env file:

NANGO_SECRET_KEY=your_nango_secret_key
NANGO_HOST=http://localhost:3050
NANGO_CONNECT_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3051

To get your Nango secret key:
