    ## Prerequisites

    <Info>
      **Setup access in {platform_0}.** These steps require **{role_0}**, or a colleague with equivalent permissions who can create credentials for you.

      If that is not you, ask your {platform_0} administrator.
    </Info>

    * **Admin** access to ActivTrak
    * Advanced Insights tier (for full API access)

      <Step title="Access API Settings">
        1. Log in to ActivTrak
        2. Go to **Settings** → **Integrations**
        3. Navigate to **API** section
      </Step>

      <Step title="Generate API Key">
        1. Click **Generate API Key** or **Create New Key**
        2. Name: `Parable Integration`
        3. Copy the generated key

        <Warning>
          **Copy your {tokenName_0} now!**

        </Warning>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Enter values in the form">
        1. **API Key**: Paste your ActivTrak API key.

  </Tab>

    ## Verify Your Setup

    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash Test Authentication theme={null}
      curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
        "https://app.activtrak.com/api/v2/users"
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    <Check>
      **Success!** If you received a `200 OK` response with valid data, your credentials are configured correctly. You can now proceed to configure this connector in Parable.
    </Check>

    <Tip>
      **Rate Limits:** {platform_1} enforces rate limits of **{limit_0}**.

      Parable handles rate limiting automatically with exponential backoff, but initial syncs of large datasets may take longer due to these limits.
    </Tip>

    ## Troubleshooting

    | Error              | Meaning               | Solution                |

    | `401 Unauthorized` | Invalid API key       | Verify key is correct   |
    | `403 Forbidden`    | Feature not available | Check subscription tier |
