Follow these steps to connect your Bambuser data to Supermetrics.

If you need to connect this data source to one of our data warehouse or cloud storage destinations, explore our data warehouse and cloud storage setup guides.

Before you begin

To connect Supermetrics to your Bambuser account, you need your Bambuser base URL and a copy of your API key.

Log in to Bambuser, and open your dashboard.
Take a look at the URL in your address bar.
- If the URL begins with lcx.bambuser.com/, your base URL is:
  https://liveshopping-api.bambuser.com/v1.
- If the URL begins with lcx-eu.bambuser.com/, your base URL is:
  https://liveshopping-api-eu.bambuser.com/v1.

To get the API key, contact Bambuser support. Ask for an API key with READ_STATS and READ_SHOW scopes. Learn more in Bambuser's documentation.
Log in to Bambuser, and open your dashboard.
On the left-hand side, click Settings.
Under "Settings", click Integrations.
Select "API keys".
