# MNTN connection guide

This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your MNTN 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/mntn-connection-guide#connection-instructions).

## Required permissions

Before using the MNTN connector, you need your MNTN API key for the advertiser you want to connect to and fetch data for. To create an API key, you must sign in to MNTN and follow the instructions in [MNTN’s documentation](https://help.mountain.com/en/articles/6511970-use-your-api-key).

## Query types

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

- **Performance**: Fetch performance data for your MNTN advertising campaigns.

## Connection instructions

1. Select the MNTN data source [on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management) or in the data destination.
2. Enter your **API key** and give a name for your login.
3. If prompted, choose to make this connection [shared or private](https://docs.supermetrics.com/docs/about-shared-and-private-connections).
4. Click **Start**.
5. In your data destination, select the advertisers to include in your reporting and a query type, if prompted.
