A **Trustpilot source** pulls the reviews from your Trustpilot profile into EmbedSocial, so you can show them on your website in a widget instead of sending visitors off to Trustpilot to read them.

The connection runs through Trustpilot's official API, so you need two things before you start: the URL of your Trustpilot review page, and your own Trustpilot API key. You get the key from your Trustpilot Business account settings.

Trustpilot sources are available on the **Premium** plan and above.

## How to connect a Trustpilot source

:::steps
1. **Open the source picker.** Click '**+ Add source**' in the left menu.
2. **Choose Trustpilot.** Under '**or connect single source**', click '**Trustpilot**'.

3. **Pick the source type.** On '**Choose source type**', select '**Pull Reviews via Official API Key**', then click '**Next**'.
4. **Add your page URL and API key.** On '**Configuration**', paste your review page into '**Trustpilot Page URL**' (it looks like `https://www.trustpilot.com/review/your-business`), paste your key into '**API Key**', then click '**Connect source**'.

5. **Pick a widget template.** Choose a template for the widget that will display your reviews.

> The '**API Key**' field says it plainly: obtain your API key from your Trustpilot Business account settings. Without it the source cannot be connected, because our integration reads your reviews through Trustpilot's official API.

## What a Trustpilot source pulls

The source imports the reviews published on your Trustpilot profile: rating, review text, reviewer name, and date. From then on it keeps syncing on your plan's auto-sync interval, so new reviews reach your website without you re-embedding anything. See [Auto-sync](/docs/social-media-aggregator/auto-sync/) for the interval on each plan.

## FAQ

**Q: Do I need a Trustpilot API key?**

Yes. Our integration works through Trustpilot's official API, so the source cannot be connected without your own key. You generate it in your Trustpilot Business account settings.

**Q: Which plan do I need for a Trustpilot source?**

Trustpilot sources are available on the **Premium** plan and above.

**Q: Where do I find my Trustpilot page URL?**

Open your profile on Trustpilot and copy the address from your browser. It has the form `https://www.trustpilot.com/review/your-business`, which is exactly what the field's placeholder shows.

**Q: Can I connect more than one Trustpilot profile?**

Yes. Run through '**+ Add source**' again for each one. Every connected profile counts as one source against your plan's source limit, shown in the header as, for example, '**79/100 sources**'.

**Q: Can I show Trustpilot reviews next to reviews from other platforms?**

Yes. Connect each platform as its own source, then select the ones you want when you build the widget.

## What's next

With the source connected, decide how its reviews reach your site. See [Source types](/docs/social-media-aggregator/source-types/) for how sources feed your widgets, and the [social media aggregator](/social-media-aggregator/) for what you can build once several are connected.
