# Liftoff connection guide

This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your Liftoff data to Supermetrics.

<meta charset="utf-8">

You can connect to data sources from the [Data sources page on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management). On the Hub, you can also [share an authentication link](https://docs.supermetrics.com/v1/docs/how-to-connect-to-data-sources-from-supermetrics-hub#share-authentication-link) to connect to a data source you don't have direct access to.

After you connect to the data source on the Hub, you can use the data source connection in [all available destinations](/docs/lift-connection-guide#connection-instructions).

## Before you begin

Before using the Liftoff connector, you will need the API key and API Secret for your Liftoff account. Contact your Liftoff Account Manager to get your API key and API Secret emailed to you. Once you have received the key and secret, copy and store it securely.

## Query types

If prompted, you need to select a query type to pull data.
