Click "**New API Key**" and be sure you save the result as you will only see the key once. However, you can always delete the key and create a new one if you no longer remember what it is.

Simply paste your API key into Looker Studio when prompted. After that, you'll see a dropdown menu showing all the sites linked to your Plausible account.```


You can select one or more of your Plausible sites to create a custom report. Simply tick the box next to each site that you want to include data for.

At this stage, you can check to "**Allow "Plausible Site(s)" to be modified in reports**". This option is something Looker Studio presents by default. It enables you to have a report with a drop-down to toggle your Plausible site(s) directly in the report. Not checking this box would disable that ability.

At this stage, you can check to "**Allow "Plausible Site(s)" to be modified in reports**". This default option in Looker Studio lets you add a dropdown in your report to switch between your Plausible sites. If you don’t check it, you won’t have this feature.

You also have the ability to choose whether or not you want to constantly pull data in real-time by checking the "**Data Refreshed in Real-time**" box. Looker Studio does not refresh automatically but what this does is it will force Looker Studio to pull fresh data whenever you make a change to your report, say changing the order of a table or adding new metrics.
