Delighted

Prerequisites​

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

To obtain your API key, you need to have a Delighted account with API access enabled. Once you have access to your account, you can generate a personal API key from your Delighted account settings. The API key is linked to your account and is used to authenticate all API requests to the Delighted API. The API key is sent as the username in HTTP Basic Authentication, with an empty password, for all API requests to the Delighted API. For detailed information about API key setup and authentication, refer to the Delighted API documentation.

Create a Delighted Credential​

  • To create a new Delighted 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 Delighted personal API key in the API Key field. This is the personal API key you obtained from your Delighted account settings. The API key is sent as the username in HTTP Basic Authentication, with an empty password, for all API requests to the Delighted API.

    Keep your API key secure and do not share it publicly. The API key provides access to your Delighted account and should be treated as sensitive information. The API key is sent as the username in HTTP Basic Authentication, with an empty password, for all API requests to the Delighted API. For detailed information about obtaining and managing API keys, see the Delighted 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.
