# How to create BigCommerce API Account and generate Client Id, Client Secret and Access tokens

Follow the below instructions for find your BigCommerce API Keys

* Sign in to BigCommerce using your subdomain and login your credentials.
* Click on the "Advanced Settings" option on the left hand side menu

![Select Advanced Settings from the Menu](https://15515196-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LbJ1eMq5M51cIpU163R%2F-Lu-QHmaBaokm_FuL2KO%2F-Lu-QpMjA0mvU75uvqKD%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=9aac1302-0fba-4b46-97f8-077743b2aeb5)

Click on API Accounts -> Click on create API Account

![Select Create V2/V3 API Token](https://15515196-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LbJ1eMq5M51cIpU163R%2F-Lu-QHmaBaokm_FuL2KO%2F-Lu-RRUhZ-Q-91XbOgrZ%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=e39013bc-6469-4fd2-ac63-80492327ae09)

Select the alpha-numeric text between stores and V3 without the slashes. That is your store hash.

![Save the value for store hash.](https://15515196-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LbJ1eMq5M51cIpU163R%2F-Lu-QHmaBaokm_FuL2KO%2F-Lu-TXKEvg3Fwg71QKOS%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=891a290e-6136-4b02-81c5-3f233d966494)

In the OAuth Scopes section, select all the "read-only" options and hit save. Daton doesn't require any write permissions to the store.

Once you hit save, you will be prompted to store the credentials to your local machine. Alternatively, you can take a note of the Client ID, Client Secret, and Access Token and save that information. These fields will only be shown once, so to avoid re-work, please copy the fields before you close the window.
