# Add Azure accounts via the Cloudcraft API

Cloudcraft currently doesn't offer a way to add multiple Azure accounts at once using the web interface, but you can do so via [the API](https://developers.cloudcraft.co/).

{% alert level="info" %}
The ability to add and scan Azure accounts, as well as to use Cloudcraft's developer API, is only available to Pro subscribers. Check out [Cloudcraft's pricing page](https://www.cloudcraft.co/pricing) for more information.
{% /alert %}

## Prerequisites{% #prerequisites %}

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

- A Cloudcraft user with the [Owner or Administrator role](https://docs.datadoghq.com/cloudcraft/account-management/roles-and-permissions.md).
- An active [Cloudcraft Pro subscription](https://www.cloudcraft.co/pricing).
- An Azure account with proper permissions.
- A Unix-like environment, such as Linux, macOS, or WSL on Windows with cURL installed.
- A basic understanding of the command-line interface.
- A basic understanding of how to use APIs.

You must also have the Application ID, Directory ID, Subscription ID, and Client secret for your Azure account. For help locating these values, see [Connect your Azure account with Cloudcraft](https://docs.datadoghq.com/cloudcraft/getting-started/connect-azure-account-with-cloudcraft.md).

## Adding an Azure account{% #adding-an-azure-account %}

To add your Azure account to Cloudcraft, open the command line and enter the following cURL command:

```shell
curl \
  --url 'https://api.cloudcraft.co/azure/account' \
  --tlsv1.2 \
  --proto '=https' \
  --silent \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${API_KEY}" \
  --data-raw '{"name":"AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME","applicationId": "APPLICATION_ID","directoryId": "DIRECTORY_ID","subscriptionId": "SUBSCRIPTION_ID","clientSecret": "CLIENT_SECRET"}'
```

Replace `_AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME_` with the name you want the account to have in Cloudcraft and the other values with the actual values. Replace `_API_KEY_` with your API key.

After you successfully add the account, you can use the same command to add additional accounts to Cloudcraft.
