# Attribute usage to your integration

Once you have created your integration with Pinecone, specify a **source tag** when instantiating clients with Pinecone SDKs, or pass a source tag as part of the `User-Agent` header when using the API directly.

<Note>
  Anyone can create an integration, but [becoming an official Pinecone partner](/integrations/build-integration/integration-ecosystem) can help accelerate your go-to-market and add value to your customers.
</Note>

### Source tag naming conventions

Your source tag must follow these conventions:

* Clearly identify your integration.
* Use only lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and colons.

For example, for an integration called "New Framework", `"new_framework"` is valid, but `"new framework"` and `"New_framework"` are not valid.

### Specify a source tag
