Prerequisites​

Before creating a Better Proposals credential, you need to obtain an API key from your Better Proposals account. The API key is required to authenticate with the Better Proposals API.

To obtain your API key, you need to have a Better Proposals account. Once you have access to your account, you can generate an API key from your account settings. The API key is used to authenticate all API requests to the Better Proposals API. For detailed information about API key setup and authentication, refer to the Better Proposals API documentation.

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 Authentication​
