To use Monetiza with GearPlug, you’ll need an API token linked to your Monetiza account. Below, we’ll show you how to get it:
1. **Go to** my.monetiza.app/api\_tokens and click “Create an API Token.”
2. **Name your API Token** and click “Create.”
3. **Copy your token** by clicking on it.
### Set up access
1. **Head over to “My Apps”** at the top of your GearPlug interface.
2. **Select Monetiza** under the drop-down menu under “New connection” and click “Create.”
3. **Paste the API Token** we copied after the previous steps and click “Create” to finish the setup.
