# Basecamp

You can use the Basecamp connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from Basecamp and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the Basecamp Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Basecamp, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **Basecamp** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the Basecamp connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to Basecamp

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

* **Account Id:** Enter the account identifier of the currently authenticated user. This Id is available in the URL after you log in to Basecamp (for example, http\://basecamp.com/*AccountId*).
* **Schema:** Select the Basecamp version with which you want to connect. The default version is **V2**.

CData Sync supports authenticating to Basecamp in two ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

* [**Basic**](#basic) (default)
* [**OAuth**](#oauth)

### Basic

To connect with your user credentials, set the following properties:

<ul><li>**Auth Scheme:** Select **Basic**.</li>
<li>**User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your Basecamp account.</li>
<li>**Password:** Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your Basecamp account.</li></ul>

### OAuth

CData Sync provides an embedded OAuth application with which to connect. To use the application, select **OAuth** for **Auth Scheme**. No additional properties are required.

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. (Optional) For **Project Id**, enter the project Id of the currently authenticated user.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. If you authenticate with oauth, click **Connect to Basecamp** to connect to your Basecamp account.
4. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
