# Evidently Cloud

{% hint style="info" %}
**You are looking at the old Evidently documentation**: this API is available with versions 0.6.7 or lower. Check the newer version [here](https://docs.evidentlyai.com/introduction).
{% endhint %}

## 1. Create an Account

If not yet, [sign up for a free Evidently Cloud account](https://app.evidently.cloud/signup).

## 2. Create an Organization

After logging in, create an **Organization** and name it.

## 3. Connect from Python

You will need an access token to interact with Evidently Cloud from your Python environment.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Do I always need this?** No, only for data uploads or to run evaluations in Python. You can view data, edit dashboards, upload CSVs and run no-code evaluations without the token.
{% endhint %}

### Get a Token

Click the **Key** icon in the left menu to open the ([Token page](https://app.evidently.cloud/token)). Generate and save the token securely.

### Install Evidently

To connect to the Evidently Cloud from Python, first [install the Evidently Python library](/setup/install-evidently.md).

```python
pip install evidently
```

### Connect

Import the cloud workspace and pass your API token to connect:

```python
from evidently.ui.workspace.cloud import CloudWorkspace

ws = CloudWorkspace(
token="YOUR_TOKEN_HERE",
url="https://app.evidently.cloud")
```

Now, you are all set to start using Evidently Cloud! Create your first Project and choose your [next step](/get-started/quickstart-cloud.md).
