BoostUp

Prerequisites​

To connect Nexla to BoostUp, you will need a BoostUp API key. BoostUp uses API key authentication, with the key passed as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of each API request.

Obtain a BoostUp API Key​

BoostUp provides API access to its revenue intelligence data for authorized accounts. API keys are generated through your BoostUp account settings or by contacting your BoostUp account administrator or BoostUp support.

  1. Sign in to your BoostUp account at app.boostup.ai.

  2. Navigate to your account Settings. Depending on your organization's BoostUp configuration, API key management may be located under Settings > Integrations or Settings > Developer Settings.

  3. Locate the API Keys section and click Generate API Key or Create New Key to create a new API key for use with Nexla.

  4. Enter a descriptive name for the key (for example, "Nexla Integration") to help identify its purpose in your BoostUp account.

  5. Copy the generated API key immediately and store it in a secure location. For security reasons, BoostUp may not display the full key value again after initial generation.

Important

Treat your BoostUp API key as a sensitive credential. Do not share it in emails, code repositories, or other insecure locations. If a key is ever compromised, revoke it immediately from your BoostUp account settings and generate a replacement.

If API key management is not visible in your BoostUp account settings, your organization may restrict API access to specific roles or require administrator approval. Contact your BoostUp account administrator or BoostUp support at support.boostup.ai to request API access.

Create a BoostUp Credential​

  • To create a new BoostUp 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​

  1. Enter your BoostUp API key in the API Key field. This key authenticates Nexla with the BoostUp API and is sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of each request. The key should be kept confidential and only shared with authorized systems like Nexla.

Base URL​

  1. The Base URL field controls which BoostUp API environment Nexla connects to. The default value is the BoostUp production environment (https://app.boostup.ai/api). In most cases, you should use the default production URL.

    The Base URL is pre-populated with the BoostUp production API endpoint. Only modify this value if you have been given a custom or alternate API endpoint URL by your BoostUp account team.

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.
