# How to enable Messaging API

This tutorial covers connecting to Messaging API and obtaining the required data step by step.

## Go to the official account to connect

If you already have an official account, click directly on the official account page you want to connect. If not, please follow the steps to create one[ LINE Official Account Manager](https://account.line.biz/login?redirectUri=https%3A%2F%2Fmanager.line.biz%2F%3Fstatus%3Dsuccess) .

If you already have an official account but it does not appear in the list, it may be because you do not have administrator permissions. The account administrator can adjust the corresponding permissions.
