ATS Anywhere

Prerequisites​

Before creating an ATS Anywhere credential in Nexla, you need to obtain your username (or personal API key) and password from your ATS Anywhere account. These credentials authenticate Nexla with the ATS Anywhere API and should be kept secure.

Obtain ATS Anywhere API Credentials​

  1. Sign in to your ATS Anywhere account.

  2. Navigate to Settings or Account Settings in your ATS Anywhere account to access the settings page.

  3. Locate the API or Developer section in the settings menu. This section contains your API credentials and access tokens.

  4. Copy your Username or Personal API Key. This can be either your account username or a personal API key that you've generated. The username or API key is used as the username for basic authentication.

  5. Copy your Password. This is your account password or the password associated with your personal API key. The password is used as the password for basic authentication.

    Your username (or personal API key) and password are required for all ATS Anywhere API operations. Keep these credentials secure and do not share them publicly or commit them to version control systems. For detailed information about ATS Anywhere API authentication, see the ATS Anywhere API documentation.

Create an ATS Anywhere Credential​

  • To create a new ATS Anywhere 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.

Authentication Configuration​

  1. Enter your ATS Anywhere username or personal API key in the Username Or API Key field. This should be either your account username or a personal API key obtained from your ATS Anywhere account settings. The username or API key is used as the username for basic authentication.

  2. Enter your ATS Anywhere password in the Password field. This password authenticates Nexla with the ATS Anywhere API and should match the password associated with your username or personal API key. The password is used as the password for basic authentication.

    The username (or personal API key) and password provide full access to your ATS Anywhere account data through the API. Keep these credentials secure and do not share them publicly or commit them to version control systems. ATS Anywhere uses basic authentication with the username and password, 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.
