--- title: Find your Serverless project connection details description: Find your Elasticsearch endpoint, Cloud ID, and API key so that clients and tools can connect to your Elastic Cloud Serverless project. url: https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/find-connection-details-serverless products: - Elastic Cloud Serverless - Elastic Documentation applies_to: - Elastic Cloud Serverless: Generally available --- # Find your Serverless project connection details This page is for Elastic Cloud Serverless projects. If you're using an Elastic Cloud Hosted deployment, refer to [Find your Cloud ID](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/find-cloud-id). When you connect clients and tools to an Elastic Cloud Serverless project, these are the main connection details you'll work with: The HTTPS URL you use to send requests to your project. Most clients, SDKs, and integrations connect with this URL plus an API key. Authenticates the client to your project. Serverless does not support username and password authentication for these connections. A unique, encoded string that represents your project's Elasticsearch endpoint (and, where applicable, Kibana endpoint) in a compact form. Compatible clients can use it instead of configuring host URLs individually: the client resolves those endpoints from the Cloud ID. ## Find your Elasticsearch endpoint You can copy your endpoint from the Elastic Cloud Console, or from Kibana. Use whichever fits your workflow: the Console route doesn't require you to open Kibana. Serverless Elasticsearch projects: Generally available In Elasticsearch Serverless projects, the **Get started with Elasticsearch** page also shows the endpoint directly. ### From the Elastic Cloud Console 1. In the [Elastic Cloud Console](https://cloud.elastic.co?page=docs&placement=docs-body), select **Serverless**. 2. Find your project and select **Manage**. 3. Under **Application endpoints, cluster and component IDs**, select **Elasticsearch**. 4. Copy the **Endpoint** value. ![The Elasticsearch panel on a Serverless project page in the Elastic Cloud Console, showing the Endpoint and AWS PrivateLink endpoint values with copy buttons](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/solutions/images/cloud-console-serverless-endpoint.png) If your project runs on AWS, the panel also lists an **AWS PrivateLink endpoint**. Use it only when you connect through AWS PrivateLink. To learn more, refer to [Private connectivity with AWS PrivateLink](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/deploy-manage/security/private-connectivity-aws). The **Application endpoints, cluster and component IDs** area also lists endpoints for other applications, such as Kibana and, depending on the project type, Fleet or OpenTelemetry (OTLP), along with your project ID and component IDs. To connect clients and tools to Elasticsearch, use the **Elasticsearch endpoint**. ### From Kibana 1. Open the **Connection details** panel in one of these ways: - Select the **Help menu** `question`, and then select **Connection details**. - Select the project selector in the header, and then select **Connection details**. 2. On the **Endpoints** tab, copy the **Elasticsearch endpoint**. ![The Connection details panel showing the Elasticsearch endpoint on the Endpoints tab, with the Show Cloud ID toggle and the API key tab](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/solutions/images/kibana-connection-details-endpoints.png) ## Find your Cloud ID The Cloud ID is available in Kibana only. You need it only for [Beats](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/reference/beats) and [Logstash](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/reference/logstash), which can use it in place of the endpoint URL. All other clients and tools use the endpoint. 1. In Kibana, open the **Connection details** panel from the **Help menu** `question` or the project selector in the header. 2. Turn on **Show Cloud ID**, then copy the value. ## Create an API key You can create an API key in the **API key** tab of the [**Connection details** panel](#_find_endpoint_kibana). Alternatively, you can also create an API key from your project's **API keys** page, which you can access from the navigation menu or with the [global search field](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/find-apps-and-objects). For detailed steps, including how to restrict a key's privileges and how to update or delete keys, refer to [Serverless project API keys](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/deploy-manage/api-keys/serverless-project-api-keys). ### Elastic Cloud API keys Keys created in your project work with that project only. If you want one key to work across several projects, or to manage keys centrally, create an [Elastic Cloud API key](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/deploy-manage/api-keys/elastic-cloud-api-keys) in the Elastic Cloud Console instead. Elastic Cloud API keys manage your organization, deployments, and projects. To also use one in place of a project API key, grant it [Elasticsearch and Kibana API access](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/deploy-manage/api-keys/elastic-cloud-api-keys#project-access) for the relevant projects. ## Next steps After you have your project's connection details, [send a test request](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4300/solutions/elasticsearch-solution-project/search-connection-details#elasticsearch-get-started-test-connection) to confirm that your endpoint and API key work, then use them to configure a client or data shipper.
