Prerequisites​

Before creating a Klue credential, you'll need to obtain an API key from your Klue account. Klue API keys are created and managed by Klue Admins in the Apps & Integrations section of your Klue workspace.

To obtain a Klue API key:

  1. Log in to your Klue account at https://app.klue.com or your organization's Klue instance.

  2. Navigate to Settings (typically accessible from the user menu or workspace settings).

  3. In the Settings menu, locate and click on Apps & Integrations or API to access the API configuration page.

  4. On the Apps & Integrations page, you'll find options to create or manage API keys. Klue uses Bearer token authentication for API access.

  5. Click Create API Key or Generate New Key to create a new API key for your application. You may need to provide a name or description for the API key.

  6. Copy the API key immediately after generation, as it may only be displayed once for security purposes. Store it securely, as you'll need it to authenticate API requests.

API keys in Klue are managed by Klue Admins. If you don't have admin access, you'll need to contact your Klue administrator to create an API key for you. The API key is used as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for all API requests.

For detailed information about Klue API authentication and API key management, refer to the Klue API Overview Documentation.

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.

Credential Settings​

  1. In the API Key field, enter the API key that you obtained from your Klue Apps & Integrations settings. This is the Bearer token used to authenticate requests to the Klue API.

    The API key is sensitive information and should be kept secure. If you've lost your API key, you'll need to generate a new one in your Klue Apps & Integrations settings. API keys are used in the Authorization header as a Bearer token 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.
