Prerequisites​

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

To obtain your API token, you need to have a Fulcrum account with API access enabled. Once you have access to your account, you can generate an API token from your Fulcrum account settings. The API token is sent in the X-ApiToken header for all API requests to the Fulcrum API. For detailed information about API token setup and authentication, refer to the Fulcrum API documentation.

Credential Name & Description​

    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 Fulcrum API token in the API Key Value field. This is the API token you obtained from your Fulcrum account settings. The API token is sent in the X-ApiToken header for all API requests to the Fulcrum API.

    Keep your API token secure and do not share it publicly. The API token provides access to your Fulcrum account and should be treated as sensitive information. You can view and manage your API tokens in your Fulcrum account settings. The API token is sent in the X-ApiToken header for all API requests to the Fulcrum API. For detailed information about obtaining and managing API tokens, see the Fulcrum 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.
