Corsano

Prerequisites​

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

To obtain your API key, you need to have a Corsano account with API access enabled. Once you have access to your account, you can generate an API key from your account settings. The API key is used for API token-based authentication for the Corsano API. The API key is sent as a query parameter (token) in API requests to authenticate all API calls to the Corsano API. For detailed information about API key setup and authentication, refer to the Corsano API documentation.

Create a Corsano Credential​

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

API URL for Validating Credential​

You can leave the default setting (https://developer.corsano.com) for bypassing credential validation during this step and instead enforcing it during source configuration.

    The API URL for Validating Credential is used to test the credential during credential creation. You can leave the default setting (https://developer.corsano.com) for bypassing credential validation during this step and instead enforcing it during source configuration. This allows you to create the credential and validate it later when configuring the data source.

API Key Authentication​

  1. Enter your Corsano API key in the API Key field. This is the API key you obtained from your Corsano account settings. The API key is sent as a query parameter (token) in API requests to authenticate all API calls to the Corsano API.

    Keep your API key secure and do not share it publicly. The API key provides access to your Corsano account and should be treated as sensitive information. The API key is sent as a query parameter (token) in API requests to authenticate all API calls to the Corsano API. For detailed information about obtaining and managing API keys, see the Corsano API documentation.

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.
