Anvyl

Prerequisites​

Before creating an Anvyl credential in Nexla, you need to obtain your API key from your Anvyl account. This credential authenticates Nexla with the Anvyl API and should be kept secure.

Obtain an Anvyl API Key​

  1. Sign in to your Anvyl account.

  2. Navigate to your account settings or developer settings to access API configuration options.

  3. Locate the API section in your account settings. This section contains your API credentials and access tokens.

  4. Generate or copy your API Key. The API key is a secret token that authenticates API requests and provides access to your Anvyl account data. The API key is sent in the Authorization header for all API requests.

    Your API key provides full access to your Anvyl account data through the API. Keep your API key secure and do not share it publicly or commit it to version control systems. If you suspect your API key has been compromised, regenerate it immediately in your Anvyl account settings. For detailed instructions on generating an API key, see the Anvyl API documentation.

Create an Anvyl Credential​

  • To create a new Anvyl credential, after selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

Credential Name & Description​

  1. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

    Resource descriptions are recommended but are not required. They should be used provide information about the resource purpose, data freshness, etc. that can help the owner and other users efficiently understand and utilize the resource.

API Key Configuration​

  1. Enter your Anvyl API key in the API Key Value field. This key authenticates Nexla with the Anvyl API and should match the API key obtained from your Anvyl account settings. The API key is sent in the Authorization header for all API requests.

    The API key provides full access to your Anvyl account data through the API. Keep your API key secure and do not share it publicly or commit it to version control systems. Anvyl uses the API key in the Authorization header for authentication, which allows Nexla to make authenticated requests to your account.

Save the Credential​

  1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay to save the configured credential.

  2. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation and can be selected for use with a new data source or destination.
