# Motorhead credentials

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Deprecated**

The Motorhead project is no longer maintained. The [Motorhead node](/integrations/builtin/cluster-nodes/sub-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.memorymotorhead.md) is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version.
{% endhint %}

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

* [Motorhead](/integrations/builtin/cluster-nodes/sub-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.memorymotorhead.md)

## Supported authentication methods <a href="#supported-authentication-methods" id="supported-authentication-methods"></a>

* API key

## Related resources <a href="#related-resources" id="related-resources"></a>

Refer to [Motorhead's API documentation](https://docs.getmetal.io/rest-api/introduction) for more information about the service.

View n8n's [Advanced AI](/build/integrate-ai.md) documentation.

## Using API key <a href="#using-api-key" id="using-api-key"></a>

To configure this credential, you'll need a [Motorhead](https://www.metal.ai/) account and:

* Your **Host** URL
* An **API Key**
* A **Client ID**

To set it up, you'll generate an API key:

1. If you're self-hosting Motorhead, update the **Host** URL to match your Motorhead URL.
2. In Motorhead, go to **Settings > Organization**.
3. In the **API Keys** section, select **Create**.
4. Enter a **Name** for your API Key, like `n8n integration`.
5. Select **Generate**.
6. Copy the **apiKey** and enter it in your n8n credential.
7. Return to the API key list.
8. Copy the **clientID** for the key and enter it as the **Client ID** in your n8n credential.

Refer to [Generate an API key](https://docs.getmetal.io/guides/misc-get-keys) for more information.
