# Get Looker token

> Step by step guide to connect your Nekt catalog to Looker Studio

To use [Nekt's custom connector](https://lookerstudio.google.com/datasources/create?connectorId=AKfycbwFfHPxHQzcxVuHeIbCoMywA1UjGCv0YY2gD9N1pnQ) in Looker Studio, you need a token. Follow this guide to generate the token required to connect to the tables within the [Catalog](https://docs.nekt.com/catalog/overview).

<tip>If your datalake is hosted on Google Cloud Platform, you don't need the token since you're connecting directly on BigQuery.</tip>

## 1. Go to Visualizations page

Access the [Visualizations page](https://app.nekt.ai/visualizations) in the Nekt platform and click on **Add visualization**.

Select Looker Studio as the visualization tool you want to use. Then, click **Next**.

## 2. Configure your token

Select the tables you want to use now. From each layer of your lakehouse, you can select as many tables as you want.

> The generated token will allow you to connect only with the tables you select in this moment. You can generate multiple tokens to give access to different sets of tables - which is useful for data governance for example.

Once you are done selecting the tables your token will provide access, click **Next**.

## 3. Configure your visualization

Give your visualization a description - it will appear on the Visualizations page later and will be helpful to identify reports that use your data.

If you already have a report, you can add a link to it too. You can also add it later, from the Visualizations page.

Click **Next**.

## 4. Get your token

If everything worked out, you should have received a success message. Go to the Visualizations page to see your added visualization and get your token.

Copy your token and use it to [connect your selected tables to Looker Studio](https://docs.nekt.com/visualization/looker-studio).
