ManagerPlus

Prerequisites​

Before creating a ManagerPlus credential, you need to obtain your API key from your ManagerPlus account. ManagerPlus uses API key authentication for all API requests, with the API key sent in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix.

To obtain your API key, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your ManagerPlus account using your administrator credentials.

  2. Navigate to the Settings or Administration section in your ManagerPlus dashboard.

  3. Look for the API or API Keys section in the settings menu.

  4. If you don't have an API key yet, click Generate API Key or Create API Key to create a new API key.

  5. Copy the API key immediately after it's generated, as it may not be accessible again after you navigate away from the page.

  6. Store the API key securely, as you will need it to configure your Nexla credential. The API key provides access to your ManagerPlus data and should be treated as sensitive information.

The API key is sent in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix (e.g., Authorization: Bearer {api_key}) for all API requests to the ManagerPlus API. The key authenticates your requests and grants access to ManagerPlus resources based on your account permissions. If your API key is compromised, you should immediately revoke it in your ManagerPlus account settings and generate a new one. For detailed information about API authentication, available endpoints, and API usage, refer to the ManagerPlus API 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.

API Key Authentication​

ManagerPlus uses API key authentication for all API requests. The API key is sent in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix to authenticate API requests to the ManagerPlus API.

  1. Enter your ManagerPlus API key in the API Key Value field. This is the API key you obtained from your ManagerPlus account settings. The API key is sent in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix for all API requests to the ManagerPlus API. The API key is sensitive information and must be kept confidential.

    Your ManagerPlus API key can be found in your ManagerPlus account settings under the API or API Keys section. The API key is sent in the Authorization: Bearer {api_key} header for all API requests to the ManagerPlus API. If your API key is compromised, you should immediately revoke it in your ManagerPlus account settings and generate a new one. The API key provides access to your ManagerPlus data and should be treated as sensitive information. For detailed information about API authentication, available endpoints, and API usage, see the ManagerPlus 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.
