# Nielsen Music Connect Connector

## Intro

Nielson Music Connect delivers granular and up-to-date data across multiple measurement metrics for artists, albums and songs as a complete view of performance and trends. To learn more about the Nielsen Music Connect API, visit their page ([https://portal.developer.nielsen.com/home](https://portal.developer.nielsen.com/home "https://portal.developer.nielsen.com/home") ).

You connect to your Nielsen Music Connect account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Nielsen Music Connect connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

## Prerequisites

To connect to your Nielsen Music Connect account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:

* The credentials (username and password) for your Nielsen Music Connect account
* A Nielsen Music Connect client ID
* A Nielsen Music Connect password

For help finding your credentials, reach out to your Nielsen representative.

## Connecting to Your Nielsen Music Connect Account

This section enumerates the options in the **Credentials** and **Details** panes in the Nielsen Music Connect Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, **Scheduling** and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

### Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Nielsen Music Connect account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" data-aura-rendered-by="33:195;a"><thead><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><span class="s1"> Field </span></p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><span class="s1"> Description </span></p></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Username </p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Enter the username for your Nielsen Music Connect account. </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Password </p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Enter the password for your Nielsen Music Connect account. </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Client ID </p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Enter your Nielsen Music Connect client ID. </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Client Secret </p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Enter your Nielsen Music Connect client secret. </p></td></tr></tbody></table>

Once you have entered valid Nielsen Music Connect credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Nielsen Music Connect DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the **Accounts** tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see [Managing User Accounts for Connectors](/s/article/360042926054 "Managing User Accounts for Connectors").

### Details Pane

This pane contains a primary **Reports** menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.
