# Appwrite Database
Now build applications on top of your Appwrite database.
## Connection
ToolJet connects to your Appwrite app using :
- **Host (API endpoint)**
- **Project ID**
- **Secret key**
You'll find the Secret key and other credentials on your Appwrite's project settings page. You may need to create a new key if you don't have one already.
:::info
You should also set the scope for access to a particular resource. Learn more about the **API keys and scopes** [here](https://appwrite.io/docs/keys).
:::
To connect Appwrite datasource to your ToolJet application, go to the data source manager on the left-sidebar and click on the `+` button. Select Appwrite from the list of available datasources, provide the credentials and click **Save**. It is recommended to check the connection by clicking on 'Test connection' button to verify if the service account can access Appwrite from the ToolJet server.
