Certify

Prerequisites​

Before creating a Certify credential, you need to obtain an API key and API secret from your Certify account. The API key and API secret are required to authenticate with the Certify API v1.

To obtain your API credentials, you need to have a Certify account with API access enabled. Once you have access to your account, you can generate an API key and API secret from your account settings. The API key is sent in the x-api-key header and the API secret is sent in the x-api-secret header to authenticate all API requests to the Certify API v1. For detailed information about API key setup and authentication, refer to the Certify API documentation.

Create a Certify Credential​

  • To create a new Certify 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 Authentication​

  1. Enter your Certify API key in the API Key Value field. This is the API key you obtained from your Certify account settings. The API key is sent in the x-api-key header to authenticate all API requests to the Certify API v1.

  2. Enter your Certify API secret in the Api Secret Value field. This is the API secret you obtained from your Certify account settings. The API secret is sent in the x-api-secret header to authenticate all API requests to the Certify API v1.

    Keep your API key and API secret secure and do not share them publicly. The credentials provide access to your Certify account and should be treated as sensitive information. Both the API key and API secret are required for authentication and are sent in separate headers for all API requests.

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.
