<aside> 💡 This guide will walk you through integrating your Interview account with Ashby, allowing you to use live interviews and take-home tests in your interview plans and when scheduling interviews with candidates. If you are using CoderPad Screen, please check out CoderPad Screen.
The CoderPad API keys are only available to those with Custom/Enterprise Coderpad accounts.

Section overview:
<aside> 🔗 CoderPad is a technical interview platform to help candidates easily share their skills – and ensure you understand how they work. This integration enables the generation and attachment of CoderPad Live Interview Links when scheduling candidate interviews.

Step 1. Log into your Interview account and then follow the instructions in this link to obtain your API key.
<aside> 💡 Please note: If you are using both CoderPad Screen and Coderpad Interview, separate API keys will need to be generated for each integration. Coderpad also recommend setting up an account specifically to use for integrations to ensure API keys stay active.

Step 2: Navigate to Ashby and select “Admin”. Next, click “Integrations” on the left panel of the screen. Select CoderPad Interview and click “Enable CoderPad Interview”.
Step 3: Paste the Interview API key that you obtained from your Interview account into the “CoderPad Interview API Key” section in the Ashby app.
Step 4: Generate an Ashby API key. Our guide on this can be found at [How do I generate an API key?](https://ashbyhq.notion.site/How-do-I-generate-an-API-key-58d3409382014a3d80c3b08e982644d7) Please ensure your Ashby API key has Write access to the Candidates set of endpoints, as this contains the assessment.update endpoint, which will be used to send data back to Ashby about the assessment.
From here, select your newly created Ashby API key from the Ashby API Key drop-down within the Coderpad Interview integration settings.
